Digital is helping them take better photos too, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Most don't know what focus is, but they do frame and fire. Sometimes the review screen shows them a problem and they shoot again and get it right. I wouldn't be surprised if more people actually investigate things like exposure more now due to seeing the results right away. For the Pro, it's helpful in tweaking the image sometimes too. I use my histogram like an exposure meter when I start shooting, to get the ambient exposure right on. New tools, better tools, that's what digital is. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Standard Poodles for fun BMW motorcycle for pleasure
