>> when we make comparisons like "as good as" and define our frame of comparison as snapshot size prints, we aren't comparing to people who have spent hundreds of dollars on their cameras, but to people who bought throwaways in the gift shop or drugstore, i.e., still a huge price differential with reasonable quality digital. Digital cameras can have a huge tornado long before they threaten the bastions of film.
Thomas, I've been sitting back observing the discussion about the quality of digital vs. standard film technology, and it sounds like a chapter out of The Innovator's Dilemma. Disruptive technology, as he defines it, and not to be confused with Moores discontinuous innovation, can start out as inferior to the established technology, which leads the entrenched sector leaders to ignore it. But it rapidly closes the gap, and eventually surpasses the old standard.
FWIW, I do not see rotating memory as a threat to sndk's compact flash, but I am concerned about Bluetooth, which could eliminate the need for removable storage.
