Digital BW, The Print

The new crop of 8mp cameras are limited by sensor size, if you want 
to go digital you will find better image quality in the larger sensor 
6 mp offerings from Canon (10D, 300) Nikon (D100, D70) Fuji (S2, 
S3).  Many photographers feel these cameras offer imaging superior to 
35mm.  The Canon uses CMOS, others CCD.  I like the CMOS.  See the 
editorial in latest "Lenswork".
