Hi all,
I've been thinking about (finally) getting a decent digital camera. So far I've been mainly using a pentax K1000 and an Canon T2 for most of my shooting. I'm not planning to spend a lot, so I tought about getting a used 300D from ebay and reuse the lenses I already own.
Since I don't have a negative scanner, whenever I want to manipulate an image I order a 5x7 or 8x10 print and then scan at 600 DPI and work with it, then reprint it. I will rarely go above 8x10, probably the largest print will be an 11x14. So far the digital cameras I've been using have proven dissapointing on ISO 400 and natural or low light, wich is how I like to shoot. I find the images way too noisy for my taste. In that regard I find working with film much better on these conditions. Is it reasonable to expect similar results to film on a 300D, should I save more to get a better model or should I stick to film?
Thanks!
