Electronically created photos may not always look phenomenal in print, but (one thing's for sure) digital cameras are a lot more fun to use than their film-loading counterparts. Results are instantaneous, and although the hardware is more expensive, you'll save on film and development costs in the long run. Before charging that battery, what's the first thing you should do? Protect your lens, man. If possible, see if you can get a "protecting" lens for your cam. Which would you rather have scratched up? An easily replaceable part, or the real deal? Lens caps work, but if you can get ahold of a 'screw in' (clear) lens, you'll be a lot safer. Consider it protecting your (possibly expensive) investment.
