    That review words sums it up! :)

  2. Nirek: Well, when they started to manufacture those Digital Cameras, everyone thought the same. You never know, if someone could take this up seriously, we could have a Digital/Film SLR in the same camera. :-)

    Yeah, I realize it sounds far fetched, but it’s a start.

  3. Interesting.
    I am not that much of a photographer (more of an aim and shoot kind). So I prefer a digital camera any day!!

  4. PizzaDude: Neither am I. :-) The advantage that Film cameras have is that the resolution of the image is way too higher than any Digital Camera affordable to common people. Apparently, as a friend of mine says, scanning a 35 mm negative can give resolutions of upto 25 Mega Pixels! :O

  5. 25 Megapixels from 35 mm negative ? :O
    Whoa!!! That was something I didnt know.

  6. PizzaDude: Yup. Check the following links out:
