Yes Eric, knowing you have a few frames in your camera, you always
want to get the best from each shot, but if you have a doubt about a
new shot to improve something about the same subject, "film is cheap"
(it also depends about the kind of photography you are doing of
course). The number of shots you can take with a digital camera is
beyond my imagination, when I use my digital P&S camera I think about
it like a film camera regarding the number of shots in spite of the 2
GB.
