A slightly off-key counter argument to this might be
that a Digital
Camera can be a good learning tool for a person, in that it doesn't
cost anything to learn what does work well. Thus allowing them to
shoot better pictures with both digital and film cameras (the problem
with this argument is that film cameras react differently).
Not much different. I like this argument. I tried "Paint with light"
photos
when I was a kid, the ones where you walk some small light around in
a dark room, camera shutter left open. Eight pictures from a Polaroid
might be $12. Fifty pictures from a DigiCam could be 10? wear and
tear on the cam & rechargeable batteries. Seems like an easy
comparison.
