Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
EOS (Electro-Optical System) is a family of Canon SLR and DSLR cameras that formulated in the late 80s; it was Canon's offical foray into autofocus SLR cameras!. "Digital cameras" is a large overhanging category that can be used to describe a Canon PowerShot SD750 to a Canon EOS 50D so the question doesn't make much sense!.

EOS cameras can be film or digital!. If you're trying to ask professional photographers if they prefer film or digital then you'll have to wait for a response from one!. However, if you want an amateur's opinion which may largely reflect the responses you'll get to this question I'd say that it's up to the preference of the photographer!. There are advantages and disadvantages to both mediums and there are photographers, from pro to amateur, who side on either and both ends of the debate!. Films are becoming rarer and more expensive as manufacturers cut production and certain specialty labs are becoming scarce!.

Film cameras have peaked in the feature area so there's really little incentive to upgrade to a new model, if any!. On the other hand, digital cameras are advancing all the time!. There will undoubtly be some interesting development between a span of 2 years!. That doesn't make your investment obsolete!. You can either sit on your money and wait for the perfect camera or you can make the jump and start taking your pictures now!. That's the way it goes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

EOS refers to the type of lens mount and has nothing to do with digital or not!. Both film and digital Canons since I think 1987 have used the EOS system!. It is called the EF lens mount instead of the previous FD lens mount!. All Canon digital SLRs are EOS!. All Canon film SLR cameras since 1987 are EOS!. If you buy most any Canon except a very old one, it will be EOS, either film or digital!.

No, the cameras do not have a shelf life in the typical sense!. But digital cameras are constantly being "upgraded" and the manufacturers want you to keep spending your money for the "latest and greatest" "improved" model, and they keep finding plenty of suckers who keep buying them!.

EOS just refers to the Canon lens mount and you can get both film and digital cameras that use it!.

Technology moves at a frantic pace and 2 years is a long time in electronics, but a good camera is a good camera, it might not have all the 'bells and whistles' that have come out even a few months down the line, but its image quality that matters and that depends more on the photographer and the lens than on the camera, a lot more!.

So buy your camera and ignore the 'hype' that says you need the latest one!. If it ain't broke there's no need to fix it!.

Digital refers to a large group of cameras that capture images digitally!.

EOS refers to the Canon camera system of interchangable lenses!.

While the bodies may change a photographer will carry his/her lenses from body to body!.

Professionals use the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III quite often!.

HiI have had both Eos is what the purest's vote for but with a digital you don;t have to print all the photos,and you see them before you print!.

Eos gives better quality pictures
Digitals have come a long way and quality is now pretty close


so its really up to you to decide which one suits you better good luck Www@QuestionHome@Com
