For compatibility, it depends on the camera and the lens. My Nikon film camera lenses were compatible with a handful of Nikon digital cameras. Do your homework before diving in. As for swapping -- unless you have a high-priced film camera (think Pentax 67 or Hasselblad), you're likely to be paying out a lot more than you can get for a trade-in on your camera. That's why I haven't sold the two Nikon 6006s I have. I'd get so little for them that I may as well keep them. Glad you liked the post.

Am I right in understanding that non digital SLR lenses are compatible with digital SLRs? If they are then I'll have to count myself converted. Thanks for writing a very useful piece. you’re a very bad influence…I’ve resisted and resisted swapping my SLR for a digital version and now there’s all this practical information about exactly the same camera and the advantages of giving up on film.
