I appreciate the reply, Frank. However, I'm not sure that even if I
could wear a suit that had lenses pointing in every direction shooting
8 fps that I would find the experience personally fulfilling, although
I couldn't complain as much about missing shots.

I agree, which is why I said that few of us are chucking our digital
gear. The point of my post wasn't that "old school" was more
fulfilling, but that it did have a tactile element that many of us may
have forgotten, that is, until we hold it in our hands again and a
pleasant sensation tingles some long unused neurons in our brains. ("I
get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.")
