Chris.  Until full frame sensored digital cameras become more available, I
can't see how digital cameras these days do anything other than replace the
110's (but hey, it's your choice)

What of 35mm, 120, 4x5 and 8x10?  black and white has been around for a
while now, does that too get discarded because it's not new anymore?



where is this strange attitude coming from, the one that all other tools
must be no good anymore because there's a new tool available?



BTW, has anyone actually tested the colour sensitivity and capture range of
one of these new media cameras?  I was toying with the idea of photographing
a McBeth colour chart and checking the sensitivity by looking at the colour
range in PS, comparing it against sensitometric values obtained by a
densitometer.  Another thought was to flat bed scan the thing and see how
good a discontinuous cold cathode light source is at rendering colours..
thought I might test them against my 3 colour RGB pulsed xenon flat bed
scanner..


a comparison and plotting of colour sensitivity against those of known film
stocks might be interesting
