But I agree with him, I think. I guess he's talking about images generated with a digital camera, and, if so, he's right. The image produced by any of the currently available digital cameras, with the possible exception of the D60, falls somewhat short of "stunning." I just say a pair of landscapes shot with a Nikon digital, blown up to about 30x40, and they were clearly inferior to what I've gotten in a 20x30 from 35mm. Even viewed from across the room. Most of the guys who shoot digital for publication do it for convenience and speed of handling, not because the images are superior, but because they are good enough for newspaper and magazine publication. I know guys in that end of the business, too. Saying Chip's point is invalid because a digital image done in a drum printer and printed on an Iris printer are "stunning," is like saying that someone who says poison ivy is poisonous is wrong because you never itched from contact with English Ivy. Two very different arguments.
