Excellent thread.....really enjoyed reading this.
I have no experience of using film whatsoever so can't comment on that. I do however use a dslr.
I cant remember the last time I used the auto feature. I will sometimes use the Pray mode if time is an issue.
Theres no reason like duncan said that you cant use the dslr like the film version. I always try to consider what im doing now before i press the shutter release button. Gone are the times when i would as you say machine gun off shots at almost anthing. My throw away rate is still pretty high but its starting to level out as I have started to think about what im doing.
Thats interesting what you say about the zoom duncan. And totally true, two different things.
These two images were taken at max zoom and min zoom, subject same size in frame.
