If that's true, it's a good thing. The history of photography is its place as a democratizing art - Kodak recognized this with the original box camera, roll film took a huge leap forward, and minilabs took it as far as it could before digital. Digital is just another step in the process rather than some disconnect. >BTW: this is meant seriously, I'm becoming more and more aghast at >images I'm shown as "great" - even in company advertising brochures - >which most here would consign to the bin.

Very true, but disconnected from the technology, except the technology available to see so much more than before. There is a Leica user's forum on the Internet that has the amazing combination of lousy photos taken with very expensive cameras and praise for the lousy photos.
