The strong rebuttals come as no surprise. But this ain't about digital per se: it's about whether learning can ever be too easy, too fast. Sure, in the short term the "fire - review -fire -review" sequence can lead to some good results. Does it lead to long term memory or do you have to repeat the learning experience every time? Can it ever give the level of expertise of some old fashioned pros who could just take the pictures and go home knowing (that save disasters in the developing tank) they had got the shots they were after, blind? [Note: even with digital you can have reviewed them OK but still lose them (technical glitch) as you download them - often too irreplaceable] I wonder what the professional teachers think on the subject - professor Andy for instance.
