I am about to purchase the body fat calipers and I am wondering if there is much of a difference between the regular ones and the digital. Generally the digital ones will compute body fat % automagically for you. They also work as regular calipers, giving you mm values for whatever you pinched. To be sure, I'd do a few test pinches and see if you can get something to measure, I have had problems ('http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showthread.php?t=566') using the calipers. There are some great example photos ('http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showpost.php?p=5128&postcount=9') in there.
