Way back when I got my Oly E-10 I would hear people whisper "That's a
digital camera!," others would freak when I showed them a photo on the
viewer...they had no idea that digital existed. I think that is what people
are refering to when they talk of when digital was new...the days before it
was ubiquitous. I do agree though that we are where the PC was before the
IBM-PC. There are no standards.

I often find that when I am out with my 10D, that people automatically
assume that it is a film camera. I had one guy back in the spring look
at me using my 10D, and said, "it's good to see some people are still
using film; this digital stuff everyone's going for today is just a bad
joke".
