Digital or 35MM?
Written April, 2000. Updated Feb 2002.

Digital cameras are great. They're great fun, and they give pictures instantly. But often it's still the best choice to shoot on 35mm and scan to digital, though digital is slowly winning. Here are some of the various advantages of each format. This essay considers the trade-offs between digital and 35mm. It assumes you plan on scanning most or all of your 35mm, so doesn't discuss the many advantages of the "digital darkroom" which you get from either medium. Resolution, Resolution, Resolution If you shoot on film, this is almost always the reason, though there are others. Really good film shots on 35mm can have as many as 20 million pixels, though in reality they range from 8 to 15 million. The best digicams have about 6 million at the time of this writing, and 1.3 and 2 are more common. In addition, the film pixels, sampled by a good scanner are 36 bits or even 42 bits -- 12 to 14 bits of range per colour. However, Canon has released the D60, which at 6 million 12 bit pixels, may eliminate the use of 35mm film for most applications. The even newer 1Ds with 11.5 million pixels has many photographers planning to switch from 35mm film. Many digicams sample just 8 bits per pixel and interpolate the others. The interpolation is good but nothing beats the real thing. 20 million pixels takes a good shot, but even a lousy film shot will usually have 5 to 6 million with all that range. Cheap 6 million pixel scanning is now available with developing. To get your 20 million you need to buy or rent a 4000 dpi scanner, currently about $1400.

But I'm getting married! Shouldn't my day be special?

It will be! Good DJs keep in constant contact with you all night and there are many special things the DJ will have your guests doing at your reception. Most Brides/Grooms forget that everyone in the room will want their 5 minutes of conversation with them. As a result, most don't even hear half of the songs that are played. It's better to choose between 10-15 songs that you most want played and the DJs will make sure you know when they are. (Why only 10-15? Because 4 hours of music is only 50-55 songs!)
