At this stage, I reckon digital projectors are absolutely fine for their primary purpose - business presentations. They don't hold a candle to a projected 35mm slide, never mind a 6x6 one.

It is the dim, fuzzy images that irritate me. The company at which I am employed has the finest digital projection equipment. but the results are pathetic. Until you have seen what a 6x6 cm slide projected by a Rollei or Leica 6x6 projector, you could not appreciate the difference.
