- Well, a lot of the vices and virtues of the various technologies got
- hashed-out! Indeed, part of the spiel (which may have been lost) is
- that even the "latest-and-greatest" technology doesn't help one take
- better pictures, and indeed, that with all the programme modes, it's
- quite possible to mess up worse than one ever could before.
-
- I'm not one who really just "goes out and shoots pictures". I have to
- have something in mind in advance, then I try to do a bit of background
- research (look for pictures of similar things), and then go out and
- click away.
-
- Besides, film and processing costs money! (Can you tell I'm a "starving
- student"! :-)
