Re: Duel

[Zonghou Xiong <zxiong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure if a duel anywhere would make sense at all.  Digital cameras,
Noblex, Fuji, and Circuit are meant for different purposes.  Most of us
probably own a combination of a few, if not all of them, and choose the
appropriate one for any given tasks.

It is true that time is changing, and fast.  Darkrooms are being replaced by
inkjet or Lightjet printers.  My Ilfochrome paper has been sitting in the
fridge for over a year now and I'm trying to find some time to get rid of
them all.
However, it would be misleading to say digital camera = digital photography,
which I guess how the duel was started.  Remember that scanners can turn all
cameras into digital ones.

I am amused that my e-mail have unlatch so many reactions, some kind, some
not so kind !

I have not in mind with my e-mail to start fight, duel and competition,
just to suggest that we have to find differents names for differents
things, I name my pictures PANOPTIC, or PANORAMIC PANOPTIC it was clear and
don't brings customer to confusion.

I suggest
underwater full 360 degrees panoptic,
full 360 degrees aerial panoptic by using of a kite  for lift  and
Stereo 3D full 360 degrees panoptic
as we do, who will play with us ??
