I started off using a compact film camera and progressed to using a SLR because it gave more control to get the images I wanted. In recent years I have packed a bridge camera to take on business trips to save weight and space. I have lived to regret the decision and wished I had packed my trusty SLR instead. I think much depends on your style of photography as to whether a non-SLR is good enough to get the images you want.

"Editing software is a corruption of the art " Alex an interesting statement or point of view.

Are you of the belief that film accurately records the scene ?

It's a fact of life that;
No two people see exactly the same thing.
No two recording mediums will give the same readings.
Reality goes through a number of transfer functions (filters) to produce an image in the brain.
Leaving photographic material in the developer for a few seconds longer is no different to using editing software.
