I've shot features with the Kodak DCS460 (billed as the highest resolution digital camera in production). The quality was nowhere near 35mm, particularly when it comes to very contrasty scenes. Reciprocity failure was a constant problem for exposures over 1/4 second or so. It's not just price...there are some significant technology issues to overcome. And there is significant degradation when you use these digital backs at high ISO ratings as well. Digital still has a long way to go to overtake 35mm. - --Jim Laurel > The quality is essentially here now, it's the price that's the > issue - to which I note that the computer on which I send and receive > E-mail > goes today for literally less than half what it cost when I bought it 9 > months ago. >
