An additional benefit of DSLR files, whether full frame or a smaller

on a monopod at 1/180 and f5.6, ISO 200, exposure comp -.3 EV, fill

That is a nice shot, I like the color, sharpness, but I can't seem to find a way to like that smoothness. I've seen a lot of people praise that aspect of digital. But it bothers me and it frustrates me that I can't articulate why.

Could this be one of those "vinyl vs. cd" issues?
