Hi
I agree with RE Hess about the question of resolution. However digital cameras are now freely available that are breaking the 'pixel-barrier' although one still has to have deep pockets to afford one. But, remember how the prices of computers, cell phones, etc, plummeted downwards. Wait a year or two and we'll all be waiving 10Megapixel camera around!
Another advantage to digital photography is that the prints and negs/slides, don't grow fungi on them, fade with age or deteriorate and curl with humidity.
Go with digital if you can.
