We still news shooters who shoot for agencies will have less competition from them now. No longer will good still images be fed to AP/REUTER and the like from newspapers, our still images from still cameras should be of a better resolution for use in the better reproduction than newsprint toilet paper. And I agree that some one concentrating on the moment will probably et better still images than a grab from a video camera, different ways of thinking between the two mediums. > > On Apr 20, 2007, at 2:20 PM, Tina Manley wrote: > >> That is the norm today in photojournalism.
