Why is everyone getting their shorts in a knot over
this? Digital "photography" won't last. It's a fad.

I agree. My brother-in-law is a case in point.
Bought a fairly expensive
digital camera ($600) and already had the computer.
Told his wife they will
never have to buy film again. Took shots for about a
month and got
frustrated. I never did see any real prints ("I'm
working on it"). I have
not seen the digital camera for months. I do see
their old Pentax 35 P&S,
complete with duct tape holding the camera door shut,
many times. Many
great snapshots of their kids and their life. He is
NOT computer
illiterate, but he is not a dedicated amateur
photographer. Maybe 15 rolls
a year at Costco and the quality is just what they
want. He is
representative of the vast majority of picture takers
out there.
