Thanks for the guide richg99, I could use it as I have little experience with the more advanced settings. I will get there quickly however.

As I understood it, film cameras were dead atleast for still photography. For moving pictures, may be its still there. Problem with film is the added development costs. Here I took a stand an went full digital.

On the FZ35/38, the ISO peaks at 400 for useable stills (based on the reviews I read through, ISO 800 & 1600 are very noise but only when viewed close up). For film I am not very sure of the settings as my Sony never had any.
