Hi Ray,
In 1997 I brought an Olympus NewPic 90 (or something like that) because I
thought I would need a p&s camera (and because I would like to test the
APS format). Since then, I have taken about 3 films (including the one
currently in the camera) with this little fella. In comparison, I used
about 400 35mm films last year. I guess the figures speak for
themself.....
