There is no arguing that digital photography is a different game than film photography.  Some aspects of digital photography make it superior to film, some aspects of film make it superior to digital.   The pros and cons are not absolutes but rather a matter of opinion and importance to yourself.  I personally embrace both film and digital for different purposes.

In my own struggle to learn digital photography I spent many hours experimenting and sometimes getting poor results.  This image was taken early one spring morning at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park using a Nikon Coolpix 5000.  This was shortly after I bought the CP5000.  While the CP5000 was my 3rd digital camera, what it proved was that digital was finally able to produce something meaningful.  My prior digital cameras were not useful, the CP5000 finally was.

This image was the first I took with a digital camera that was the level of quality I desired.  I don't know the specifics, but I will tell you I employed only natural light and the native CP5000 lens.
