Well ladies & gentlemen may I offer?

 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
