I feel it appears many others as myself don't really care about what magical things are inside, just as long as it captures the beautiful images I click at in the view finder. They are more concerned about photographic end results! Damn that idea is so easy to comprehend!. :-) I wouldn't know a "CMOS WHATEVER? " If it were sitting on my lap biting my ear! Yep, Nathan I'm with you in what I take to shoot with and the guts inside don't enter my thought one iota as I go out the door. What matters most??? The picture end result captured and not whether there are little people inside with hammers, chisels chipping the images in stone! Or some technical thing that does it so magically it makes my heart beat at times in wonderment! cheers, Dr. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 9:49 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] "CMOS Is Winning the Camera Sensor Battle, and Here's Why" > Hear, hear. > > I have three digital cameras that I use on a regular basis: the M8, the > Pentax K5, and the Fuji X100. > > I do not even know, let alone care, the type of sensor each camera has.
