Sucked into a Nikon D100 as I could use existing lenses and observe the following -* instead of heaps of bookshelf albums of prints and boxes of slides, all rarely looked at, I now have heaps of digital images, also rarely looked at, but they take up far less space
* where I once would have taken one shot on film I now take 3 or 4 digital images
* the 2 gb digital images out of the camera have to be dumbed down with Adobe in physical and byte size if you want to send pics by email that can be seen in total & are not so big in file size you strain friendships
* using Adobe I can correct for minor misalignment of the horizon and generally improve framing and easily alter the contrast etc
* I VERY rarely print out pics - many years ago (and 3 computers ago) I purchased a colour printer which would handle A3 but have never even printed one of my photographic masterpieces
* the value of lenses has dropped like a stone - down to less than 25% if my recent sale experience is any guide. Like computers, we can expect money spent on digital gear to drop in value very quickly as it becomes superceded by yet another miracle product
But then, digital cameras suit our extravagent "throw away" society rather well don't they?

No cure possible or is solicited for this audio, video and classical music obsession. I love it!
