One could make them into an art collage and hang on the wall. One thing I like is the "visual comfort " allowing one to sit quietly, look and admire something that looks nice! It's a kind of "feel good of simplicity." The other is making use of the Digi 2 for something not many have shown in the past, maybe you'll trigger using the camera in a slightly different venue in the future. I used mine on a recent shoot in Portugal and the UK and in some cases the Digi 2 results appear cleaner and crisper than those of the 20D when shooting the same subject. In other words the Digi 2 looked like a Leica image as we know with film. Now if Leica could only come out with a digital version that would allow us to use our M lenses it would wonderful, because it's obvious when seeing the difference in some situations where the Digi 2 and 20D were used side by each. This doesn't mean he 20D images were inferior, it just means the Digi 2 images had a Leica look as we're accustomed to seeing when using film and M7 or whatever. ted
