People who write serious articles about digital cameras
"RichA" wrote in message ... I'm speaking here about professionals who make a living writing about photography. I read another article where the author had to start a "Down Memory Lane" jag about film. They should no longer be wasting space including any comments on film cameras. Film is DEAD. It has been dead since Canon released the 30D. The nails in its coffin where pounded in when 8 megapixel DSLRs appeared. Some darkroom alchemist may be able to wring 8 megapixels of info out of 35mm film, but that is the absolute limit, lack of resolution being only one shortcoming of film. Depends a bit on the ASA. I thought [I read] that a decent 35mm film would provide 4kx3k pixels i.e. about 12Mp. Film today is being rapidly abandoned by professionals and amateurs should do the same unless they are after some look film provides that digital can't, and today that covers very little ground. But if you are going to write some kind of comparison article, stick to digital versus digital, because comparing digital versus film is a useless exercise. Film is rapidly being abandoned. Just try and buy some... |

I have some Pan-F that has more resolution than my 4000ppi Nikon scanner can extract. That works out at around 21Mp - a slow monochrome emulsion though. -- Kennedy Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ****ed.
