That's one thing that's very cool about film cameras: you "upgrade the sensor" by using an improved film, which is why my 30-year-old 6x7 is able to produce state-of-the-art, 2003, 160Mb images. Who knows what films will be out in five years? Medium-grained 3200-speed, ultrafine-grained 400-speed? I'm keeping my film cameras. Pat White
