Yup....

with film, it's a tedious and expensive process and you may find yourself in situations where you do not dare to risk too much as you may start counting dollars n cents for each shot. With a digital, you can keep trying until you find the shot that you like.

But still it's a romantic throwback to the film and slides... they are so much better in terms of DR and clarity...

Mebbe I may get back to film one of these days... hehe

Then slowly save up for the lens...even if $800 is body only..u can get the kit lens at like $320 or so. Total only $1120 or lesser if you are lucky, isn't it better? Frankly a dSLR is better to start off rather than Flim as what others have said.
