Hey all! I have been reading on all kinds of sites about the debate between digital vs. film cams. Some say digital is the way to go,others say you can't trust digital results. I'm sooooo confused!!!I love my digital, but I also enjoy my 35 mm. What are your opinions?

I've seen a lot of debate about that too but I honestly think that it's just a personal choice. Both have pro's and con's. A digital camera is quicker so that you can see you results right away and you don't have to pay processing fee's. But I personally like film, I always have. I'd rather have the print in my hand and the negatives to verify anomolies. I also prefer black and white film, I just like it better but true black and white film takes a while for companies to process as it's still done by hand. I don't think that any one method catches ghosts better than another. Try both and see which one works better for you.

I was watching a program on TLC about hauntings and the group on there seemed to have very good luck with a 35 mm camera and infrared film. That might be another option to try. They had some very interesting pictures.

I get good results using both a digital and my 35mm, so it is absolutely possible to catch anomalies on both. True, it's nice to have the negative in hand, but some things you just cannot mistake as being the real deal.

There is a lot of talk about "pixelization" when using a digital - this is what anti-digital cam folks use as their reason for putting them down. Well, I have some samples of said pixelization and there isn't a chance that pixelization can be mistaken for many of the anomalies caught on digital cams.

Just my humble opinion. =P

Keep on using what is working best for you - experiment! Sorry, I don't have any video tips for ya - I haven't used ours to try and catch ghosts.... yet. [Big Grin]
