I feel compelled to chime in with my own agreement with Sonny's thoughts. I've been thinking about this a lot during the last few years as I have watched friends and relatives switch to digi snapping and as I have added Canon digital to my own assortment of Leica gear. I believe he is exactly right. I'm going to continue to use both as the need and spirit move me, but I am also going to try to be more disciplined and force myself to make prints of the more important (from a historical, family and otherwise, point of view) shots so they are available to others when I'm not around to find them on the hard drive or archived cd. I just think it is the right thing to do. --Bob
