Hi folks,
I don't own a digital camera. I have observed my husband's love affair with them and regularly been shown the results. My impression is that you get what you pay for. With his current camera he can photography my bobbin lace in wonderfull thread-by-thread detail. The crunch is the $6,000 NZ price tag. Yeah - he's not a professional, just a fanatic -- sigh. It's a Nikon D100 by the way.

I think one of the problems is the price of the upper-end digital cameras that will do the kind of images that Peter, I and others need for analysing textiles.
I have a question for you, Mel: how good would a digital camera be for
taking clear close-up pictures of, say, cathedral ceilings if I want to see,
in perfect detail, carvings on the, oh, bosses?
