I read that article and had the same thought. This guy has all this Pentax glass, and they suggest the Rebel D.

Without boring anyone with details, his methods were pretty lame. It's also interesting that in the same magazine they do a "digital makeover" to a "die-hard" B&W film guy. The guy is a Pentax 35mm shooter, so what camera do they suggest for a digital SLR? Yep, a CANON DIGITAL REBEL.... They could have made a great point that he doesn't need to buy all new equipment etc. by suggesting a *ist D... What's also interesting is that in the same issue, the editorial makes a point that Ansel would be using digital tools today. So one single issue of the magazine has messages stating: film is dead, film is alive, film is dead Stupid magazine...
