I’ve been working with my 4 megapixel for some years now, but I feel I’ve outgrown it. I’ve been looking at digital SLRs lately, but they can get pricey. Would a regular film SLR be better? Or if you know a good site to get a 10 megapixel for a fairly decent price, that would be great! Could someone please help?

i think the Nikon D40’s are coming down in price. Check it out on dpreview.

Good question, hope this helps:
I just bought a used Nikon F80 film camera and standard lens ($250).
I shot some pix on Velvia ($15 a roll proc. incl.) and scanned them with my ages-old Minolta scanner (worth exactly zero on the open market).
I made a print at home ($2.00) and guess what?
The results blew my D50 and 18-70 lens ($1200 new) into the weeds.
Now, a brand-new 10mpixel digicam may crush the Velvia, but I’d really want to be sure of this before I shelled out for it.
And, PS, I could have had the Fuji drum scanned at 46mpixels!
