A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

Well, pretty much no mater what you do the lab will devitalize your film: most of the contemporary labs process images digitally and do not print analog anymore This is OK. The technologies they use are not something that limit you. The crappy sensor on your cheap camera is the limitation. Even if we forger any other parameter (and there are many of them) and look only at only pixels resolution then the analog film is equivalent to the 22-24 mil pixels. The contemporary “Pro” camera do 5-6 mil pixels…. So, even considering the cheep lens’ 50 line/millimeter resolution we are not there yet. However, I have to admit that for the amateur consumption those 1-2 mil pixels are sufficiently enough… not to mention the 75 dpi of the computer monitors… The new generation of D-cameras with 12-14 mil pixels is coming out and they will drive the prices for contemporary “pro-level” $3-5K cameras down. I thinks at the end of the next year will be seeing the full 24X36 sensor-armed cameras with 5-6 mil pixels at $2-3K price and all those contemporary half-format “pro” cameras will be use by the teenagers only (as they should be).
