That's the deal with film .... it was so expensive to shoot and develop, people hardly took any pictures so each one stood out.
Looking back ... "What's that blur?"
"My grandson's first steps ... or maybe my granddaughter's first haircut ... both photos are just blurs. They wouldn't stop wiggling."
Digital ... "Yeah, if you hold down the "next" button, you can watch the whole thing like a movie."
Lately my memory is pretty weak anyway ,... I'll opt for more pics just because more of them are keepers.
But ... unless you plan to make posters, and iPhone 6 or 7 or a $200 P&S can take pictures as sharp, clear, and colorful as any of the old film stuff .... at 3 FPS or something.
In 20 years we will all be wearing Google-glass cameras which autofocus depending on where our eyeballs are focusing and responding to voice command. The idea of carrying camera gear ("What's with all the lenses? Can't the software compensate?") will be as obsolete as the idea of buying film.
