Richard,
Ok, I think we all know how ink printing quality compare with photo quality
as we all have eyes to see. You just try to say traditional one is better. I
agree with you it is better, but very very little. A good ink printing is
acceptable to most people but the very demanding one. You raise a bad sample
of what photo books of Andreas Feininger look (I never seen one before), but
it could be just a poor example from poor preparation and printing. It
doesn't mean ink printing is that poor, I think you must have some very good
one around.
For the DC, we know what is their CURRENT capability and how it will go.
Taking the movie camera to compare the speed is a bad example. Will you take
a movie camera to shoot still? Does your movie camera have 1/10000s? Memory
speed is a limitation of today, tomorrow the speed will double, four
times.... and more. We are talking about consumer accessible device, no
matter today or tomorrow, not some very special industrial device.

There are Duotone, Tritone, Hificolor printing (printing press)
technologies for best printing of continuous tone images. Prints and
books made with this conventional printing press technologies can look
really good, but I never seen one coming close to the original
photographic quality. Every time I visited an exhibition I noticed how
much better an photographic print looks. Better blacks and clear
whites, excellent tonality. An example of very poor printing quality
are most books with photos of Andreas Feininger, muddy greys and
unsharp prints. I was pleasant surprised when I could see the
photographic originals, sharp, contrasty images.

Has been discussed in de.rec.fotografie some samples were shown on web
sites and I got the impression Nikon has admitted that colour accuracy
was not their prime design goal.

Kodak produces very expensive high speed digital cameras for the
recording of events like crash tests. Any traditional film, movie
camera can record 25 fps or higher, they are available from small
size to standard 35 mm and gigantic Imax film cameras.

How big is the memory ($) of a digital camera which can make 15 fps at
what quality, resolution, over what time span?

AFAIK the CCD does limit the fps an digital camera can record, as
higher the resolution as slower the fps. The final recording will be
_much_ slower, less than 1 fps, because recording media's used in
normal digital cameras are slow.
