Re: Analog vs digital by Herbert Keppler

[Alan Chan]

I think that's one interesting thing about impulse buying. Some consumers 
don't actually bother how much they spent (so long as they could afford), 
but they are buying the most cost efficent products (low end in most cases). 
A $100 P&S is a low end film camera, so to a $1000 DSLR in the digital 
world.

I never said I understood it. But, that's what I've been seeing. I've had
alot of non-photographers express interest in the low end D-SLRs. They've
bought a P&S type digital, really liked using it, and now want to check out
one of the two lower cost D-SLRs. I've honestly never had anyone shoot with
a film P&S and be so inspired by the results that they wanted to go out and
drop $1000 on a film SLR.
