[Rhodes22-list] slides vs digital camera

David,

I used to sell high end Macs, image setters, slide and drum scanners to the 
digital pre-press industry. A few years ago all of my customers still liked 
slides. It sounds like digital has bridged the quality gap. You still see a 
bunch of the pros sticking to the old gear though. Is this because they 
don't want to spend the money on new equipment?

I have always been a autofocus (point and shoot) guy and don't know much 
about cameras.  I love my Fuj Digital camera though!  You can't beat the 
instant gratification and the low cost to view a pic.

Wally
