Re: Pentax (film) vs 5MP (SONY)

[graywolf]

If you think of digital as a pocketable Polaroid that doesn't cost an arm and a 
leg per print, then you can easily see the reason for the popularity to 
snapshooters. Strangly enough, I know of many who never do anything but look at 
them on the LCD. When they get their 100 or minimal jpegs used up they just let 
the next one overwrite one of the others. In other words they use it as a toy. I 
think that by next Christmas a 2mp, 3x zoom, digital P&S will be under $100, so 
they are priced as toys also.

True. I guess a lot of people buy a digital camera just to be at the cutting
edge of things. And to get rid of expensive film - and the can redo faulty
shots right away. They can even see if the results are OK at a glance - so
they don't have to know anything about photographing in advance - they can
learn fast by trial and error. It's not because of a better image quality.
All the best
