Also, when faced by marauding muggers, with an OM you have two financially
viable options... give them the camera or slug them with it. What are you
going to do with your megabuck wunderbrick? You can't run 'cos it weighs too
much.

Subject: Re: [OM] Re: Dipping our Toe Into Digital
And another side: When you carry a film camera which is inexpensive
by today's rising digital standard, you have the potential when faced
with a stunning subject and great care in taking the picture of
creating that once in a lifetime shot that ends up on the wall in a
giant sized enlargement. If you opt for an affordable digital in the
2 or 3 megapixel range which makes fine 4 X 6 prints you cut off that
creative option. If you opt to get a second mortgage on the house,
lose your spouse, and buy an 11-14 megapixel wonder with the same
capability as your $10 roll of film you may not find that wonderful
photo it is capable of before it is so outmoded in 3 or 4 years as to
be embarrassing to be seen with. :-)
