Hello again, I'll try to be brief on this subject. If more info is needed,
e-mail me.
Do not buy a digital camera NOW. It will be years before it is worth serious
consideration. Even the $25,000 Kodak DCS cameras mounted on a Nikon or
Minolta camera body has trouble with fine detail in highlights (like a Brides
Dress) No digital camera comes near the quality of film. A camera of
760 X 504 or even the 2036 X 3060 pixels can not even touch a photo image of
100-300 times that many.
One day it might happen - but not anytime soon. There are of course other
considerations like software, printers, etc. So get your camera out, put
fresh batteries in, clean the lens, and buy fresh Kodak Film (sorry couldn't
resist).
