As far as only an hobby is concerned, I prefer the second opinion. Other
people might volunteer for technology "beta tests" and pay for the privilege
to play "avantgarde".
Top technology minus 1 seems to be more reliable and cost saving
especial with digital technology.
When 35mm photography was invented by Oskar Barnack, the objective was to
create an camera for the the biggest storage media know until today.
Digital photography is still searching for an apropiate storage media, there
are "Smart medias", "Compact flash", "Memory sticks", "PCMCIA", "PC cards",
harddisks, 3 1/4 floppies and the industry is bussy to invent new versions.
The situation for digital today is comparable to the times of daguerreotype
and glas negativs.
Digital photography compared with 35mm film photography is like comparing
an frontloader v.s. an HK MP3.
