Hi SweetPea,
With the improvement in technology, the quality of the pics taken by digital cams now is almost comparable with film cameras.
Notice I used the word "almost", there's still some difference in terms of the effect. I find film pics more 3D - difficult to describe it in words, but if you get to view pics taken by good photographers, you should be able to see the difference. But for 4R prints, this difference is acceptable and most people won't be able to detect it.
For AD photography, I personally prefer digital pics for the following 2 main reasons
1) I love taking photos, AD packages for digital photography are usually for unlimited shots!
2) Charges for digital pics are cheaper as you only need to pay for printing. And if you don't wish to print, you save even more money!
Noticed that both you & Agnes are having church solemnisations... if you don't mind me asking, are you Christian or Catholic?
I attended a friend's church wedding over the weekend, and generated a few thoughts in me.
