DH started out with a 2 megapixel digital camera, and got some really great results. It's got 10 x optical zoom and 3 x digital zoom. Digital zoom is a waste of time because it just cuts down the size of the image it takes. This year, I inherited that camera when he bought a better one. He takes pictures in Poole harbour of the wildlife as well as the boats/ships that come into the harbour. One, which he printed at A4 was of a boat on the other side of the harbour, and you could clearly see the grain of the wood in the harbour structure behind the boat.
Lord Lichfield, one of the UK's most famous professional photographers, was interviewed on BBC radio a few weeks ago. He said that he's used a digital camera exclusively for about three years now. He also said that apart from the image quality, which he thinks is comparable with or even superior to anything he used to get with film, that can be got now, he can shoot many more useable photographs without worrying about the GBP80,000 it used to cost him in film each year. He can also see the results immediately and make any adjustments needed in the next shot to get the results he's looking for.
