This is the same old hype about digital killing film when it comes nowhere close. Gee, we have this device that's nearly the equal of film. Hmmm... 6 megabytes vs. 75+ megabytes of data. And well, gee, it's not color, but how much data do we really need? Looking at the pictures people like this take, I'm not surprised they think they can get away with 4-5 meg files. What a joke, Chicken Little lives. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA A critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.
