I think (hey, lookie here, he's bringing it back to photography! <vbg>) that the sad truth is that it's the software that in the vast majority of cases, is the limiting factor in sound quality. Most mass produced CD's and vinyl just sounds bad. Period. It sounds bad on lousy equipment, it sounds bad on good equipment. I also think (does anyone really care what I think? <VBG>) that the medium (ie: film or digital sensor) in ~most~ cases doesn't make much difference in the quality of the final image, especially for the average consumer. Please, all you MF and LF guys, don't jump all over me, I merely said that for ~most~ people (including many pros) for ~most~ applications both media work just fine, and aren't limiting. So, it's really about storage, handling and convenience, and again, for ~most~ people digital is the way to go. That doesn't mean it's better. Just different. I prefer film for all sorts of reasons, not the least which is that I don't have a digital capture system, and quite frankly, I'm just comfortable with film, having used it for about 40 years now (I think I was around 8 or 10 when I got my first Brownie Starflash). For 90% (or more) of the applications right now, quality isn't an issue, IMHO. Okay, now you can all jump all over me, and tell me I'm wrong! <vbg> cheers, frank ===== "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst" ******** "Of course it's all luck" -- Henri Cartier-Bresson ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
