So which ones do u think is better?
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Digital vs. 35 mm?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
If you get a good digital camera, digital is far better. You don't need to buy film or pay for developing and you don't have to scan the photos in order to put them on your computer or the internet. If you are buying one or the other...you should go for the best quality digital camera that you can afford.
I have a 3.2 megapixel and an Optical 2X Lens Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P52 and it takes very good pictures as well as short video with sound. You can also get the special photo printer that is made especially for these cameras for good quality prints. The photos you transfer to your computer are excellent quality. To print high quality photos you'd need a good printer, preferrably one especially for printing photos.

No one uses film anymore, digital is great quality, its as good as film, or even better depending on the camera. The only time even professinals will use film is for billboards as the picture has to be blown up to such a large size that digital photo would get all fuzzy as its enlarged.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Film is better. But obviously, a hell of a lot more expensive!!
But unless youre going for truly professional shots, its not worth spending the $50,000 or so on a digital camera that actually rivals a film SLR.
Professionals still widely use film for print, as even the top consumer Digital cameras are simply not good enough for quality A4 print.
The difference in image size between 3 and 5 megapixel really isnt that much either.
A solid 3 MP digital does most people.

Many, many pro's have made the switch to digital. For example, all of the shots taken at my work are with a Olympus E-300 8.2MP DSLR. It's under $1k (with just a portrait lens) but that's probably overkill for someone not very serious about photography. The studio down my street (which shoots mainly artwork) is also all-digital. However, it has a track along the ceiling that the camera moves along - and the Mac it's hooked to "stitches together" the 4 shots of each painting/etc... so instead of a 8mp image, you have a 32 megapixel shot.
If you want a good 'party and vacation' camera, stick with a digicam of around 2-3MP. Make sure it has at least a 3x optical zoom. I'd recommend checking out the Canon digital ELPH series.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Film is dead for the consumer, yes. However film still has uses over digital (at the moment) that professionals, and prosumers need. Film cameras are resistant to extreme environments, reduced weight (no need to carry extra batteries), and provide high resoultion scans and prints that are unmatched by any digital camera.
When digital cameras are as durable, and power saving as film cameras, then we'll seed the last days of colour film.

Just a question
Let me start by saying that I am not a photographer by trade or hobby, but I do have an Olympia 3.0 megapixel digital camera (under $150 US at any Office Depot) and it works just fine for what i use it for. In combination with an HP photosmart printer and some sort of photo enhancement program such as Premier Photoshop (formerly known as Adobe Photoshop) or Jasc Paint Shop Pro, you can produce pictures for personal prints that are near perfect. I've even done artsy black and whites and made full size posters for my house.
Now my question. I saw a segment on the Discovery Channel about a new type of digital photo card that saves pictures exactly like film. Somehow instead of one pixel representing one color, on this card one pixel can now represent any combination of all three primary colors. Has anybody heard about this, and do you think it is possible?

That doesn't make any sense. A digital card just stores information, no matter what. It could be a RAW file, a JPEG, an MP3, or Word document. The storage device does not decide how the picture is recorded. The CCD or CMOS sensor does.

True 7 Virtues,
After posting I did some searching and found exactly what I was talking about. It's a tri-layered PIXEL SENSOR . It's called the Foveon X3 5M CMOS.
Here is the article

It's gonna take ISO 50 film to beat that!
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
How much money do you want to spend, and more importantly how often and what will you use it for?
I use both:
I like SLR 35mm's because you have so much control over how the shot will turn out.
I like digital for social functions: you can see how it turned out right away.
Right now i would never get a digital SLR. I don't shoot enough photos to make it worth while.

I'd Rather Shoot Film
I like the way images look on film rather than digital. Digital looks too "live" for my taste. I usually shoot my fine art on film and use my digital camera for snap shots though.

Its just a matter of preference, for some people it is easier to just hook up their camera to their computer and voila! you get a perfect picture.
Others like to go to get their film developed/ develop themselves and have an "original print"
I used to have a 35mm film camera for my photography class in highschool, and i loved it.
But as soon as i saw that i could see my pictures right away with a digital camera i never went back.
