Jeanette - Nikon also has a selection of digital cameras for today's professional photographer that rival the old film cameras. The D3 is an amazing camera, and new features are being added to lenses as well.
I have a D300 digital and FM2 film camera; I never use the latter any more, though it's a lovely relic.
Some of my photos here:
