Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Hey, wait a minute. That is what I have for a screen saver. I have used Nikon and Hassleblad for the last 45 years, but for digital this is the one I am considering.

OEH I finally went with the Canon Rebel XT to be able to interchange lens from my Canon Elan 7Ne. Cost a bit more but there is a $100.00 rebate on the Rebel Xt right now. The best price was from Beach Camera.

Photography has come a VERY long way sine I started out in 1969 with a 4x5 view camera!

Yep, photography has been an interesting journey since 1960 when an industrial photographer showed me the ropes when I was only 12. The hard part was when I moved a year ago making the trips to the dump to toss over $40,000 worth of lab and processing equipment into the dump. Could not sell it, could not give it away! Digital killed
off wet process equipment overnight. I'm glad I sold off $27,000 worth of Hassleblad just before digital became practical. I've enjoyed the commercial and personal photography for the last 45 years, but I am so glad that my main profession has been computers and the current switch to digital fit perfectly into my area of expertise.

The crock is that my film equipment is capable of many times more resolution than any digital equipment that is
currently made. Just before digital became acceptable I was having lunch with the VP of Kodak for Digital Science. He knew that film had the capability of surpassing digital in the area of quality for decades with the
film technology that they had not yet released. But he advised that digital would be have sufficient resolution
soon to exceed the expectations of consumers and would displace film technology by eliminating the wet-process
requirements. Seeing the writing on the wall, I started selling off some equipment. I still have a Nikon F4
and a few cherished lenses that will be my film equipment until I die.

I like digital because I have the computer side of it nailed with commercial level systems and technologies
that the general public will not use because in general they don't want to make the effort to learn the
technology or the processes involved. I don't blame them either. I've been doing this for 36 years. I don't
expect the general public to understand concepts related to data integrity, security, hardware design, and
sound procedures. I do like it when they pay me to fix their mistakes. Pays for more camera equipment as
well as the rent.

Photography as a art hasn't changed, only the image capture technology. If in doubt - click!
