I agree 100% that the future of photography is digital.  However I don't
agree that current digital cameras are necessarily "better" than those
antiques you seem so anxious to disparage.  Until manufacturers like Fuji
stop exaggerating the capabilities of their digital cameras by advertising
interpolated resolutions I'll remain skeptical about the current consumer
market.

I think a quick look back over recent posts will show where a lot of name
calling has originated here.  ("dinosaur" cameras, "crappy" 50's
projectors...)
