This is _certainly_ not fad quality! http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/EOS10D/html/EOS10D_sample_1e.html We're not talking point-and-shoots here. This is serious stuff. And, hardly a fad. The lowest price level of ANYthing new succombs to faddish marketing and the fast buck, but there's room for that too. But the upper level, where the Oly and yes Canon effort shines, is top quality gear, and top quality performance. I don't see how anyone can look at performance like that above and call it anything else. Film won't go away. Nor will all the tons of cameras and equipment using and supporting film uses. Just because digital exists is no reason to relegate film cameras and the film industry to oblivion. It just won't happen. Those film advocates who have been digital bashing will eventually have to admit the time is almost here for 35mm and possibly even 120 film quality matching. Arrived almost 5 years before I figured it would... It will eventually stand side by side with film. Film for this, digital for that. Just like water seeking it's own level... keith whaley > When that fad goes the way of all fads, then we will see > where digital is in the real world. > > Ciao, > Graywolf > http://pages.prodigy.net/graywolfphoto > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cotty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Pentax List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 7:26 AM > Subject: RE: Just printed the test pictures from the *ist D... > > > Actually I have a little theory that all this digital business is winding > > itself up for a big implosion and eventually it'll go full circle and > > we'll all end up wanting film again.
