Digital BW, The Print

In short - yes.  It is all the same stuff.  The technical stuff is all the
same (terminology and principles etc)

The advantages of the more expensive 35mm digital cameras vs their cheaper
brethren include higher pixel count, larger sensor size (allowing larger
pixels), greater bit depth and speed (response times).  The 20D is a very
very good camera.  I got the 1Ds MK II because (a) I can afford it (although
my girlfriend thinks I am f******g mad) and (b) I think this it is at about
the level where 35mm will begin to lose economies of scale.  Hence I foresee
never buying another one (yeah yeah).  645 format digital still has a way to
go - both in terms of what it can achieve and what it costs.  There is a lot
of stuff on Norman's site re the 10D which is full of praise.  The 20D is a
major improvement on the 10D!
