I wouldn't think of it as a mistake. (Someone here may take issue) but film still seems to surpass the affordable digitals in quality and versatility. Here I'm talking mostly about available film characteristics. Plus with something like the EOS you can obtain a much wider array of lenses for special applications. The EOS line has been around many years, and are highly evolved. Digitals have a high convenience factor, and you can immediately learn from your mistakes at a low cost. But they come with certain drawbacks. There are lots of debates about digital vs analog, and I'm not really trying to add to them. I just don't want you to beat yourself up about some "mistake" that really isn't a bad decision. I think we'd all like to see some of your older work. The photographer is more important than the camera.
