It does the job, but when I want to take really nice shots, I use my old Canon AE-1.
Film is still the way to go for quality, however, the majority of professionals and of course consumers have switched to digital for its ease of use. Digital may never reach what it has to in order to surpass film, I've read various claims about the how different films are the equivalent of 20 megapixels or whatever. That many pixels may never be reached with the ability to keep the pixels themselves big enough to not have a rediculous amount of noise.
