I have a digital. What's a 35mm camera?
Go with a good digital...at least 5megapixels. I have a Sony 7.2 megapixel. I love it. It's on sale at Walmart now for $250. When you have a digital you don't waste money on printing the pics you don't want. You pop your card into a card reader for the computer, look at them, and print them if you want. You can buy a decent printer that prints nice pics (I have an Epson photo printer) or you can take your card to a drug store, and it'll print real fast. And you only print the pics you want. TRUST me. Go for the digital.
PS. My friend has a photography business and I think he has a 12+ megapixel camera. But those are expensive!
