But the question is why you put half the thought into your digital
shots. My point is that comes from your view of digital as not being
"real." Turn off autoeverything and shoot your digital camera the way
you'd shoot an M.

As someone who shoots both film and digital, and probably will continue
to shoot in both media for some time to come, I see digital as simply
another capture media - the fact that it's electronic, involves the use
of computers, etc., doesn't change the fact that you're capturing a
visual image using light, and are through one or another media
transferring that visual image to paper - or a screen.

Sorry, but with all due respect, the analogies strike me as quite
bizarre, and as far too emotion laden.

And yes, the 5050 is a neat camera.

BD,

I like digital. I shoot digital. I use a very good Olympus 5050 that can
do 
almost anything with half the thought that I put into a Leica shot with
my M3 
or CL. 
So I'm not speaking from ignorance of digital nor am I a conservative 
stand-patter for its own sake. Therefore, respectfully, I hope you
consider my 
comments and give them the test of thought over time and experience.
