[.....] I can't help but remember (and compare) the problems that film cameras used to have with the film-speed/noise issues. Then, I learned to shoot in 64ASA Kodachrome with a tripod to get those sharp noise/grain-free images of yesteryear. How do feel about writing legible prose? What an odd comment to make about an intelligently written detailed description of the author's camera selection process... --DR "Legible" was the wrong word because that indicates visual aspect of the letters. However, the writing could certainly benefit from the use of the "enter" key to delineate paragraphs. Well, it's an arcane usage of the word, and not wrong; it's from the same guy who insists on spelling the singular of "lens" as "lense". Wrong. Hmmm. Wrong in that you don't spell lens in an odd way, or wrong that using "illegible" is not an arcane usage, or some other wrong? -- john mcwilliams |

Quote from Para 3.1.1 of RFC1855....
"Don't send mail or post messages solely to point out other peoples errors in typing, spelling or grammar. These, more than any other behavior, mark you as an immature beginner". |

Indeed. But I'd (again) point the previouos poster to RFC1855.
"Don't send mail or post messages simply to point out other people's errors in typing or spelling.... These, more than any other behavior, mark you as an immature beginner" Oh... Gosh... I've split this into paragraphs.... |
