Dave,
Welcome to the digital world! You will also be saving money, no longer having to purchase film and then paying for processing.
I stopped taking slides back during 2002 after the Kodachrome I had was gone. I was shooting both for a little while and I am glad to go back to only using one camera. The great thing about digital is instantly seeing your photos and not having to wait for film to be processed. Also being able to edit the photos on the computer is nice!
Good luck and you'll probably think like most of us that you should have done this years ago!

I appreciate the thought, but I'm still not happy about having to change. Saving money was never the issue. Until recently, I never bought my film. My wife has four sisters who resupplied me with film every Christmas. It's not that I'm resistant to change, it's just that I believe in not fixing something that isn't broken. There isn't one damn thing wrong with my Canon T70 or my Canon Rebel XSN. Film isn't hard to find because there is anything wrong with it, it just isn't popular any more.
Seeing the images instantly isn't a big deal for me either. I'm not that impatient. There have been times when rigs from one trip sat in the camera for months until another trip, and it never bothered me a bit. I've been editing my photos on the computer for years, so there's no improvement there. I've looked at prints of my shots from both film and digital of the same rig and cannot see any advantage. I've done the same with the rigs I have posted, comparing those scanned from film prints to those resized from digital, and they look the same.
