[muglo] Re: Camera Zoom

 
I bet you still use your Apple lle it was a very useful machine in it's time.  
Advances will always be made just to have the competitive edge if nothing else. 
 Who said 128 kb of memory is all anybody will ever need?  Bill someone or 
other and he was proved wrong!  Canon has already upgraded their pro line to 11 
megapixels and Kodak has a 14 megapixel camera and I don't believe we have come 
close to the end of development, I certainly hope.  I have a Digital Rebel and 
I like it a lot but I don't believe for a minute that it is my last camera.
