I don't see much difference between the advertising for digital cameras and the advertising for film cameras. With the exception that now they advertise printers that will print your pictures and the fact that you can e-mail pictures to your friends and family.
As for camera advertising, they've always promised great pictures. There has never been an emphasis on knowledge, skill, or talent needed to take them.
