Maybe I've been unlucky, but the 3.3 million pixel Kodak 4800 digital
camera I have has a tendency to blow the highlights in a contrasty
situation, _much_ more so than black and white film.

I have the following question:
Does a CCD have less or more capability in recording different light
levels then black and white film. To refrase,was wondering I know that
in resolving power film is still more then an order of magnitude ahead
of digital but wondered if the same was true regarding the number of
stops it can span in a single frame. Thanks for the help simon jessurun
p.s.  only use the Leica and the Sinar,have no use anymore for the
Nikon,s so traded them Honest!.
