Hej William, Moore's law is as Jonan nicely showed us not for computers but for integrated circuits. Both microprocessors (computers) and IC components are important parts in a camera. CCD's benefit from the electronic race as well. However, lot of the development is done through computers and their capacity actually reflect trends in other areas also, I don't intend to prove it.
However, go digital but be prepared that you get something better for same or even cheaper price in six months, which someone said is the lfietime of a digital camera. The digital question is rather what do you intend to do with the picture? Use it digitally - then go for it- otherwise for me personally analog, i.e. film which is a good solution. As I said in previous mails. DIGITAL BACK which could be used on e.g. MZ-S or even our simplier mz-5 siblings, this way we don't need to loose all the eequipment n the digital race. With this remark I am withdrawing for this conversation and wish William Robb, Johan Schoone and everyone else at the PDML a great Xmas, white as for me or maybe too hot for our Australian friends. Cheers, ROnald ----- Original Message ----- From: Johan Schoone Subject: Re: Film vs. Digital (WAS: Re: RE: HypotheticalQuestion) > > This must be Moore's Law. A brief explanation is on Moores law applies to computers. Digital cameras don't follow Moores law. William Robb
