Yup it is true. I am going from film to digital. I'm not leaving film but rather, saving it for certain things. I have purchased the Pentax K20D (i can't give up my Pentax) with a big kit:
[link] <-The link to where I bought it.
Stuff thats bundled:
The Pentax smc P-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5 lens
Flash
Wide angle and telephoto lenses
2 tripods (mini and mid-sized)
2 cases (travel and casual)
2 maintenance equipment things
Reason For Switch:
1. Ease of Camera/Mac communication
2. No need for going to store to get film or getting film developed
3. Seeing how a picture turned out rather then having to take multiple "safety" pictures.
4. Pentax K20d is closest DSLR to film SLRs (i.e. ability to take multiple exposures)
5. On camera editing
6. No need to scan
7. Ability to change sensitivities
OMG i can't wait, it will arrive in about a week. And when it does expect a whole lot more photos
