One leading photography mag in the UK at least prints a 190dpi, not 300. Dont know about the others, but many pro photographers are now producing work on digital - even for use in high quality calendars!
I disagree with much of the rest of what you said too: I dont think the end of film will be here for a long time, but the end of film for fast sports is already almost upon us. This is not a quality issue, but a practicality issue. And what are you on about with cheating on the challenge of getting the perfect shot. All shooting digital vieo does is up your frame rate from 5-7 to 50 or so. Its the same principal. If you really want to shoot the 'natural' way then what more challenge could you want than 2.5fps in the MZ-S. This is just hypocritical 'crap or balony' on your part. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 22 February 2002 09:14 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: hmmmmmmmmmmmm > > > Its amazing many of you think its the end of film and its a > matter of 2 years till digital > takes over completely. > > Not many liked my post on the new proposed slr including a > 5-7 fps and a fully sealed > body that pentax can look at developing. > > Some say all we need to do is to take digital video footage > to get that shot. > > What utter crap or balony.. > > Firstly your cheating on the challenge of getting that > perfect shot the natural way and > secondly True color in comparison with: > > current topline digital cameras versus top slide film/ pro > scanner combo does not exist > and the distance between the two is still far apart. > > For newspapers yes digital is excellent as your dpi is not as > high as that used in the > glossy magazine industry but when your dealing with glossy > magazines who print at a > minimum 300 dpi there is no match when you decide to use a > digital image instead of > the super colored slide. > > Why if this is the case does Pentax continously bring out new > ametuer bodies if those > theories on digital are correct?? > > soon we will have mz1 - 2 -3 > -4-5-6-7-8-9-10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100 etc > > Why have so many mz series cameras has got me stumped.
