One point I'd take issue with is about digital
photography. Go and
compare photos taken with an el-cheapo point-and-shoot digital camera
and an equivalent 35mm compact. *Then* tell me there's not *some*
improvement ;-)
Hmm... Problem is that reasonable digital compact cameras seem to cost as
much as a 35mm ZLE. And the latter certainly produces better results.
I have yet to see any digital phootgraph that I consider contains
adequate detail (this is not the same as sharpness, which can be
fiddled). Of course I am compearing them to medium and large format film
(but then again, any one of my medium or large format cameras cost me a
lot less that any reasoable digital camera).
I can see advantages to digital cameras if you need the results ASAP, or
if you want to send them across the world quickly. But that's not what I
want to do.
