You meant "Chip, Chip, Chip," didn't you?
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.

Yes, I meant Chip Chip Chip, me silly error.
Well, I think the images that you see at 30-40 are probably printed by
amateurs on an inkjet. It more than convenience to use digital.
If you believe that I have bridge in Brooklyn for you and Chip.
To get the best quality you would use photo paper and digital printing.
I can certainly direct you to several cameras including the Kodak DCS760 and
Fuji Finepix S2 that will more than impress you or at least as much as the
D60
does.
