I find it hard to believe that we've just spent the last two weeks talking up the use of D60's or equivalent to produce 50Mb and above images, only to see us pulling it all down this week; ironic.
I don't think it was file size that was the issue in this thread, more the question raised by Richard relating to architectural photography. I for one can't see a sub �1000 solution that would incorporate either a monorail or a decent perspective control lens.
But the underlying and unspoken issue is probably that most subscribers to this list will have interpreted, rightly or wrongly, this question by Jackie as being another alert that a company currently commissioning photographers is reckoning that technology can allow them to dispense with their skills, replacing them with a one off hardware item that can be carried around in a negotiator's glovebox.
I could be very wrong here, and it's why I suggested:
Maybe Jackie needs to be more specific about the type of photography and why they want to go digital at all.
It is important. I really can't see why snaps in an estate agent's window should require them to hire a photographer, anyone can do it. However I'd be sad to see the skilled and high end architectural and interior photography disappear because some suit in a city office couldn't tell the difference.
