Dan, that was a great summary of stuff you need to know for digital photography. The majority of consumers won't need anything bigger than an 8x10 and for that size, current technology allows you to get a digital camera for $500 or less. I have a Canon Powershot G2 and I have printed 8x10's that are indistinguishable from film cameras. A good site for reviews of digital cameras is http://www.dpreview.com
Having switched to digital camera, there is no way I'll ever go back. I'm just waiting now for the Canon EOS-1Ds (11 mega pixel full frame digital SLR) to come down in price. :-) N on 4/6/03 11:11 AM, Dan Knight at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Film vs. digital depends on your needs.
