    I just recalled the first digital camera I saw which
      was in the early 90s.  It was a 1 MP concoction from Kodak/Nikon
      which was an SLR tethered to a separate module.  Totally clumsy,
      limited in function and absolutely fascinating.

      It is fascinating to me that some people are still shooting film.
      Even cardboard disposables are going the way of the dinosaur now.
      

      The technology was pretty crude back then, but even so, the noise
      situation was better than with film, and the flexibility on a
      shoot was phenomenal.  We take it all for granted now - all the
      stuff we don't have to decide, carry around, calculate.
      

      It's amazing.
