Currently available very Jim, Have you used the cheap digital cameras? The current king of digital, the EOS520 or Kodak EOS2000 (same thing) that costs $11,500 minus hard drives and batteries, and is just barely up to newspaper repro. I photographed a Senate candidate the other day out in bright sunlight with a touch of fill flash on my R8 with 19 and when it ran in the paper, it was dang close to LIFE magazine repro quality. (Let's not talk about them becoming a sell-out to journalism). Our paper has unusually good reproduction, I'll grant. No 35mm style digital camera is good enough for us at our best. Let alone the cheap ones. ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes
