Digital BW, The Print

Some very sage advice. After all a sharply conceived image on a point 
shoot is better than a poorly concieved image on a 4x5.  It is about the 
image. Get what what you can and grow with it.

As far as digital cameras, I am not sure they ever asked a photographer 
how they wanted the ergonomics on these things. They drive me crazy. 
Give me a focusing ring, a zoom ring and an aperture ring and film speed 
dial an light meter display in the viewfinder that can use to balance 
the exposure and get rid of all the damn buttons, wheels and toggles.
