For the sake of justice. Aaron. Are you reading the same article as me? If you do, I find your conclusions a bit... odd. He does not say 4x5 is a dinosaur and a bad choice. He says he loves his D200 with IR, electric ignition, implemented coffee machine and so on, for - it's _convenience_.

Thanks Paul, Fernando, and Godfrey, I have other shots of that pair of boats with slightly different compositions. They were cropped more tightly, but on review I liked the water on the edges. And Paul you're right, the whale shot is a 'Gee wiz, look what I found' rather than good photography.
