Hi Claude,
I agree with you - to a point.
With film the critical factor of "capturing" is the quality of the 
lens.
With digital it is a professional type camera, but it is also the 
Megabytes.
I am going back to film for I can afford a Nikon body and a good 1.4 
50mm lens for $AUS1100, whereas a Professioinal Camera - Canon, 
Nikon, or Kodak, start at $AUS9000.  
The new Canon G5 is $AUS1400 and already it has its 5mb usurped by a 
new amateur camera of 6 mb
This is not forgetting that my expensive lens can also be used on 
future Nikon bodies.
So, for many of us the bottom line is cost (and a non-convinced wife 
in the background).
Ken
