I am very partial to Super-8 and still enjoy the images produced from my Canon 510XL super-8 as opposed to video. A dinosaur, I am not. I'm only 25 y/o. I like to think of myself as a revivalist. my2cents -peace ted -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Am I Really a Dinosaur? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Roberts" Subject: Re: Am I Really a Dinosaur? > > > >Video was an improvement over Super-8. > >The same does not hold true here. > > Irrelevant. Very relevant. Please reread what I wrote. I said nothing about quality, only that video was an improvement. In this case, the improvement was both quality, and more to the point, convenience. Compact discs are more convenient than vinyl records in many ways. Beta died for the same reason that Royal 25 died, which was poor marketing by a complacent company. If digital becomes both an economiclly viable alternative, and more importantly, a more convenient way to get prints, then it would have a good chance to supplant consumer film use. I just don't see this happening. EPA regulations, now that scares me. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
