I second Eric's recommendation.  Filim and scanner is a lovely
combination that produces beautiful results.  And, if ever a better
scanner comes on the market, you still have your film to rescan.
When better cameras come on the market with digital, their old
digital files are still what they are.  NO chance for improvement
with technology.
