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

it seems to me that...

66.36.129.184

the point appears to be lost on you.

The issue is not that digital isn't useable, it's that the market is a mess with everybody scrambling over each other with features and gizmos and design, and what we're left with is a mass of half efforts since the product will be so different in 6 months, never mind by the time the product doesn't work anymore, so that anything not made (i was going to say "marketed" but that would be incorrect) as a professional tool is cheap to the point of being disposable, and only isn't because it's full of electronics.

the bloody EOS rebel is a plastic shmuckity schmuck and costs over a thousand dollars.
it doesn't have to be forged titanium or even cast magnesium. When digital cameras are really a mature technology they won't be so disposable anymore.

-planned obsolescence, the bane of modern life.
