Well, no, Tom, the situations aren't at all parallel. I'm very, very happy to be using MRIs and PET/CTs. I'm also very happy to be using a K-5 instead of an istD or Super Program.
The technology has its place, though. I don't get an MRI on every patient with a tummyache, just because it's available. I don't need a 24MP FF camera to do the kind of photography I do.

The older cancer treatments work for a lot of people, so there's no real reason to look for anything better. They're relatively cost effective and good enough in most cases. The same is true of diagnostic technology, it works now, so why try to do it better? To me it's about the patient, not the technology. ;-) Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
