It was always interesting that no matter how little resolution a newspaper PJ actually needed, they were recording ore so that the picture could always be reproduced in a better medium. One thing that the current generation of digital does is that it encourages you to use the minimum res needed to enhance storage, transmission, etc. This PJ who shoots sports for the Globe used the N D1Hsince the 2.3 Mp images would transfer quickly over the old Fenway park phone lines. One side effect is that this pictures will never get better, although film shooters record more information whether they needed it or not.
Of course, digital will improve. I wonder how long it will be before the technology makes all of these questions become irrelevant? Time table aside, does anyone see any ultimate limitation on digital that can't be overcome anytime soon, i.e., within 25 years?
