this is a bit of a wander from the OT.
The rules haven't changed when it comes to photography iso (film speed and grain), f/stop, shutter speed and such, it is still the same. If you have a good film SLR with decent lenses you may want to see if there is a digital body that will use them. Don't get to hung up on mega pixels when it comes to posting pics on the web. There isn't a current digital camera that doesn't have way more than needed when it comes to pixels. If you want to make wall size prints maybe more pixels matter and maybe not. Once we passed 3 mega pixels it just became a number for the marketing boys. The quality of pixels maybe another thing but that is a discussion for a good digital camera techno geek forum like DPReview.
Go with a digital SLR with a few decent lenses. Point and shot digitals most older film photgraphers find slow and frustrating.
