Digital all the way

Yes, it's time to update. There's almost nothing left that is better with film now. Meteor photography and certain types of large format largely. Some more dynamic range in print film but I expect we'll see that beaten soon.

I recommend selling your Pentax lenses while they still have a good market value on eBay and going with whichever you prefer of Canon or Nikon. Not because Pentax doesn't make good equipment, I am sure they and the others do. But in Canon and Nikon you will have a much bigger community, and a much bigger aftermarket for buying and selling stuff, as well as 3rd party vendors who make stuff for your equipment.

I have a new page I am working on for this at http://pic.templetons.com/brad/photo/what-digital-camera-buy.html
