Just read the following and it says it all! >Yes, you can get better resolution with film and a drum >scanner, but hey, isn't that digital technology too!!?? Why are you >comparing digital to digital? I was comparing film to digital. > >Peter K. Jim PS... I hope the most of you enjoy my comments, from the inside, on digital imaging. I try to explain it without getting bogged down in details. Most numbers are approximations, but close. The digital system equivalent of film systems is indeed a long way off. Digital totes a lot of baggage. It takes a hellova lot of 1's and 0's to equal film. And then you have to put it somewhere. It will require a breakthrough (we are working as hard as we can) in technology to close the film/digital gap. I work deep in the bowels of digital photo electronics. But I photograph with Leica M and R, and 4x5 Linhof. I own a Nikon CP900 digital. I think the batteries died from non-use. Jim again
