I shot a roll of Optima today for the first time. The color palette reminds

of both HDC and Vista, but IMO, the Optima has a much more neutral palette.

One thing I've done with my Mavica is take a picture of a painting or a
portion of it, like a watercolor or oil. Original painting is large wall
size. Then print it on card stock at 4 X 6 size. The result is marvelous.
Looks even better than the original.

My whole point (I think) in this discussion is if you want the BEST image
possible, and that is the primary consideration, I don't think a digital
filmless camera is the way to go yet.
If there are other considerations which weigh in on the other side, then
digital by all means can be the answer

Thank you for this answer, Gianfranco,
but why is it then still possible to set a seemingly right combination of
shutter speed (let's say 10 s) and aperture (maybe 5.6) at the "zero point"
"thermometer scale" in the viewfinder? That seems contradictory to me.
