I'm this far along on the food chain to understand these points. <<Digital images look different than film images.>> Alrighty then. How do they look different? Is there more information? Is the information by nature of it being a digital process presented/read differently than a traditional film process? <<Digicams have some unique >capabilities. That's all the reason I need.>> What are the unique capabilities you seek? Can you take a photo and blow it up a zillion times so you can read the fine print on someones coke can? Understand this, I'm not challenging you or any one else who is hot to get a digital camera. It's your vision, your art, no one needs mine or anyone else's permission to do what they want. I'm simply trying to understand why a digital M would be such a great thing. That's all. Kim
