Hi Ian , Just for the record , who constitutes 'most of us' ? > >There has always been the argument, mines bigger than yours with the 5/4 >vs 35mm debate.

That will never change >despite, the high low end debate. Err ....yes the skill of the operator is a key part of the process . But once again reality will come back to bite you . I've just spent all day shooting for Dewars . High key , incredibly detailed bottles with fine type and embossing , and gold labelling. All images to be perspective perfect , absolutely accurate colour and massive tonal range. With the greatest respect , even if you bought all your skills to work on this one , the D100 is not even in the ballpark when it comes to meeting our clients needs. I'm sure that your D100 is fine for what you do , and once again , I'll say that the D1s is a fine camera . But at the end of the day , there are still many tasks that are beyond the physical capapbilities of these cameras , and no amount of creativity short of rearranging the laws of physics is going to change that. Quantum camera anyone ? Regards, Bob Marchant. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
