In the digital world, the challenges are quite obvious. IMO, they have to improve on the lag phase, washed out highlights, need to spend hours on end getting the final hard image just right for the hard copy (which I see less despite larger numbers of images captured), photo file management ( I can see my descendants just letting that CD-ROM with all my best taken images just rot further) surprising numbers of blur shots on hard copy that seems to appear sharp on the LCD on camera (maybe optical illusion, no?) more economical home digital prints (i.e. cheaper ink cartridges), just to name a few. In the film world, it is sharpness all the way to the film edge, larger aperture (maybe f1.0 is the norm one day), and better B&W films. I still love to look at that album where my dad kept those prints taken in the mid 1900's. LIfe goes in circles. Digital is king today.........film again next? Dan K.
