But that reality is based on the fact of not how bad the cameras are now.
But how good they're going to be in 60 years.


My point being the cameras of today work just fine.
The trick is to use them. Make prints. Put them on your walls. Make albums.
Those prints are not going to go out of date.
They're not going to disappear.

I make all kinds of prints with a Nikon FM in the early 80s.
Did they become "no good" when the FE2 came out and I started using that in
stead? Could I tell one from the other?
