  1. You get a similar feel with a DSLR with a broken LCD panel and 1 GB memory card. The important part of the film photography is not having a method to instantly check your results. That forces you to think more about what you're doing. Even if you have configured your DSLR to not show the preview automatically, you still know that you can immediately review the photo if needed. Taking photos of important moments without ability to know if the photo was successful and not being able to just shoot 100s of photos to make sure you have at least one successful shot makes all the difference. Also most film SLRs come with a really high quality lens (for its time!) which is usually much better than the kit lens most people shoot with their DSLR.
