The switch from film to digital was an amazing transition in terms of user experience, the best part being the immediate feedback that u get after clicking. It was so nice to check whether everything is as per your wish and if not, swoosh... 2 button press and u can take the shot again with required changes! And another big advantage was the LCD screen. It was so easy to use both for composing and reviewing the results. The bigger viewfinder also meant that your settings are also visible prominently. And the camera being much smaller and lighter than EOS300, I enjoyed carrying and using it most of the time as opposed to my old bulky camera bag.
OK, there were disadvantages like not able to choose my lens, tendency to overshoot, lack of proper manual focus etc. but I liked the overall digital experience...

Don't forget that one of the best things with digital is the ability to check the histogram after each shot - if your histogram is hard up against one end it means either the shadows or highlights are getting clipped and are gone forever. You can use your exposure compensation to move the histogram so it's not clipped. If both ends of the histogram are clipped, you can go and reduce your contrast and/or saturation, and narrow the histogram. Also, there's no image that can't be improved with running through Photoshop
Yes, that's right. The flexibility it gives a photographer is huge. And unfortunately, this backfires for some who would not want to put any effort...
