And the age old problem of capturing a great image continues no matter what you put to your eye. Getting used to your equipment is real important, but how can you do that when you're upgrading so much, changing to digital, learning software, calibrating printers, etc.? I'm a techo freak and love hardware. But taking great pictures somehow seems separate from that. Is National Geographic all digital now?
