[QUOTE="QUAHOG, post: 264485, member: 21167"] As somebody who started out in photography back in the 1950s with a Brownie 620 camera and moved up to a 4x5" SPEED GRAPHIC, all of these digital cameras are mostly amazing. Back in the 1960s, as Wire Service NEWS photogs, we were shooting with Nikon F cameras loaded with Kodak Tri-X B&W film. If was tough in those days employing that 400 ASA film to get anything much bigger than an 8x10 enlarged print. Trouble was, the grain in that film was so large that it reminded me of golf balls. After that, we'd slap the lousy print down on the board of a view camera and shoot the picture with 150 line screen. That's 150 dots per inch for B&W offset printing plate use. And now . . . some miscreant is trying to tell me that my Nikon D2Hs camera with 4.1 MILLION pixels per square inch is too coarse, crude and is obsolete. Since all of my photos are used for situations such as WEB pages, book illustration use and Power Point type presentations, that 2005 vintage pro grade digital Nikon camera is perfect. After all, that low mileage (30K shutter clicks) D2Hs cost me under $300, so how can a person go wrong? The Nikon D2 cameras are BATTLESHIPS with hi-end, highly sophisticated 21st Century electronics. For most of we mortals, such spectacular bargain basement priced, heavy duty photographic equipment will never wear out. [/QUOTE]
