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

this seems to have become an analog vs dgital argument.

If someone finally does it right I might be convinced to buy a digital camera but for now an all mechanical film camera is where it's at.


hornlover, brother, you do have some points, like for example: digital's similarity to film quality images and quick turnover and the chemicals, oh the chemicals. However the implementation and cost of the choices is awful. Of course that's the same with all new technologies, but it looks like nobody wants to do it right, they just want to sell product. Coming back to Leica, thier position seems to be nothing more than being an oldfashioned style counterpoint wrapped up in their own dogma. All these cameras these days seems to have thrown real ergonomy out the window in favour of electronically controlled 'features' and buttons all over the place all the while feigning ergonomy in body shape only. And that includes film cameras unfortunately. All that sort of explains why I posted what I had at the beginning of this thread

But musey, is so right. How could you possibly prefer cd? Maybe it's my anti-button bent but i just plain can't stand all the hidden control that the player clenches in its fist (meanwhile it sticks out a cheap plastic tongue at you). And of course the sound that demands that you throw out reality in favour of something entirely warmed over. Kind of like the difference between punk and pop-punk; actually, a hell of a lot like the difference between punk and pop-punk, so warmed over and prettied up. However musey brother, I can't imagine that vinyl statistic has held up to this year's christmas buying season. DVD players have been a monster seller beyond comparison, with the bottom rung of the ladder coming in at less than the price of two DVDs, I for one can see why (even if the magnetic video tape wasn't so: big, cheap, fragile, inflexible as a medium, and just plain rotten as an information storage device).

me, out
