My last experience with digital has cured me of placing all of my eggs in one basket. Film, for now, is great insurance.

(Off-Topic) Anybody heard of the new X3 chip to be used in the future digital cameras? The current digital technology uses one color in one pixel while the X3 chip have three different layers so all possible colors can be contained in one pixel which will have the resolution which, if I can remember correctly will have the same resolution if not better than the 35 mm. I lost the article so forgot the other details; I think it's from newsweek dated March 25, 2001. This will start the doomsday clock for the conventional film so they say. Though I don't like digital cameras due to it's short-life bodies and fast-changing technology, this I found to be disturbing if you're going to purchase expensive film-based cameras. According to the article, this will materialized in 2-3 years time. Any comments? Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
