HELP KEVIN chose his next camera!!

My Canon Powershot G7 is past its best days. Please help me choose amongst these options:

a. The Canon 40d and 5d have both come down in price... buy my first DSLR and some nice lenses... standard solution.
b. Buy a nice 35mm or medium format film camera, like a Hasselblad or Rollei.
c. Don't buy anything and just learn how to do more stuff with computer post-processing like layering.
d. Don't buy anything. I'll get over my buying angst as soon as I can get outdoors more (its still 105F here!)

From New Buffalo, Michigan, looking towards Chicago, Illinois approximately 100km away in New Buffalo, Michigan. Taken with Diana+ medium format camera and Velvia expired ISO100 color 120 film. (Explore)

    buy a film camera if you shoot for the sake of art.

    if you have to shoot a lot, shoot sports, or shoot for work (get it right 100%), get a digital camera.

    i use a nikon f3hp. wouldn't trade it for a $500 digital camera. film is a woman--an unforgiving, beautiful, mysterious woman.

    me, i'd rather take a better photo 90% of the time. you will be a better photographer for it. get a weston exposure meter and learn how light works.
