I realize that many LUGers who are hooked on film think that digital is just about "instant gratification," but it's not. I don't want a bunch of 2, 3 meg files...If I want digital, I want the best digital files I can get. If I want film, I want film. And if I want both, it's readily available. The first idea was great, but this one misses the point. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of John Scocca Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:52 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] What's short for Barnak? Barney, that's what... I'm profoundly un-impressed. Wanna be an old fart? got 20 grand? buy Leica!!! Here's one alternative ad campaign - it occurred to me while I was taking my weekly shower... Question: Want 25 (or however many) megapixels? Now?? Answer: Buy a Leica and use film. And here's the killer app for Photokina 2006: simultaneous electronic and film photography. Design a camera that gives a 2 or 3 mp instant gratification shot and also puts a latent image on film. Provide the best of both worlds. Stress the archival qualities of film and the evanescence of digital media. Any digicam that uses an electronic viewfinder is already on the way. back to lurkdom... cheers, john scocca On 30 Sep 2004 12:16:56 +0200 <DouglasMSharp@netscape.net> wrote: [Leica] Photokina - Film Dinosaurs > > Good morning all, (at least it's a.m. in Europe) > > A well known company is trying a different angle on market research. > > http://www.film-dinosaurier.de/index.php > > Click for the English version ( the direct URL was too long), read > the article and then click imprint and get a big surprise as to who's > behind it.
