Don't get me wrong: While I use film only (color print film, to be specfic),
I consider the scanned JPEG the "main" product. It's the JPEG that will
receive the widest audience. It's the JPEG that I get to crop after the
fact.

But I'm puzzled: If digital cameras solve so many problems, why don't I see
people carrying using them? I don't see them used in ordinary life; I don't
see many used even at special occasions (except for amusement parks). Isn't
anyone reading the manual?

In the glory days of the SLR, millions of users took their camera
everywhere, despite the inconvenient size and weight. Now we have Canon
Elphs and such that fit on keyrings. But I don't think the average buyer is
exposing any more frames with digital than he was exposing with film. The
darn thing is hauled out for birthdays and holidays, then stuffed in a
drawer.
