Photography
I've been messing around with a camera since 1988. In my younger days (as it were) I didn't know all that much about the art of photography. Thankfully, I was also constrained by it costing me something like 30p every time I pressed the shutter so the evidence from those times is somewhat limited in volume!
I have a digital compact, an elderly digital SLR and a bridge camera. (I used to have a film SLR and a negative scanner, but these found better homes.) The digital knocks the spots off a scan from a slide, though I'm prepared to concede this may not be the case if you're happy to pay for the really high-end tiny-grain film cartridges.
I prefer the compact to the larger cameras - counter-intuitively, you might imagine - but it's all down to convenience. Being able to carry the compact unobtrusively and whip it out quickly outweighs the number of times I wish for a longer lens, an adjustable flash or fully-manual exposure control. But it does happen; I do use filters on the bridge and DSLR, and I've started thinking about my depth of field a bit more than I used to.
