Digital BW, The Print

Hi , I also agree with you, some DSLR take good photographs for sure 
of course, these are pro equipment, that's the only "ins" they offer, 
and the "cons" are too many for me. 
If I was a pro I would probably be digital already, snap, send your 
files, that's it. I guess for many professionnals as soon as it is 
sold, many pictures are thrown or at least it is passed, they are 
just interested in the next one. In that respect it is a consumer 
product attitude and digital fulfill this aspect perfectly. I am not 
sure they had the same attitude before when using film.
