Since I began photography with far less, it's not much of a problem for
me to accomodate the slight inconvenience of stop-down metering. Still,
there is a huge evolutionary gap between film and digital.

I had often thought that the logical step from film to digital would
have been just that: a digital "film pack" that would take the place of the
rear cover of an SLR. With that in mind, there are plenty of 10M P&S
cameras out there that mike make suitable candidates for such a
FrankenCamera.
