We have discussed the cost of digital at great
length on this List and on other camera lists for
years. Where have YOU been? My figures are
middle of the road, drawn from the experiences of
others and from my own research. They are hardly "balderdash".
Yeah, I have a digital p&s and I have Irfanview,
so I can do a quick shot when necessary of an
item to illustrate a hardware issue. This is not
a "quality" product, but it is useful.
What I am discussing is a digital equivalent to,
say, my Hasselblad and Rolleiflex and Leica gear
and my enlargers with their APO lenses. I do not
see how I could match that quality in digital for
less than $35,000 -- and I would have the
additional cost of constantly upgrading every six
months or a year as new stuff came out. Top of the line, my lad, not junk.
