I guess I should think about that! Not likely to process the film myself but use a service. Digitizing would be an option. I have over 5000 slides/negatives I have been thinking of digitizing but haven't settled on a quality digitizer yet.

Using 35mm film with the camera would be a luxury activity with specific target criteria for justifying the expense. I would prefer to use the P&S for snaps but for quality results, maybe film since I have the equipment.

I do see using the Olympus as a temporary solution until I can close on a DSLR or equivalent. The technology and features have started to become commodity at this point. Choosing between full and 3/4 format is hard enough. I have always been partial to the smaller camera body's, which is why I would lean in the 3/4 direction.
