So if you want a digital camera capable of true photo quality, how many megapixels are enough--six? ten? See "Film vs. Digital" by Max Lyons.
Here's a new (1/28/04) article touting the consistently lower cost of traditional film cameras over digital--even when it comes to printing. See "Why Bother with a Digital Camera?" by Robyn Peterson
If you're really interested in a detailed comparison of film vs. digital, see Sally Wiener Grotta's June 25, 2001 article, "Digital vs. Film: The Real Low-Down" from Extremetech magazine.

For those of you who want to research things before buying: the best buying guide I have seen is by PC Magazine: http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,4148,9097,00.asp?o=3&p=2#recent_reviews. The only caution: check the date of the information you find. Any price information or comparison of features older than late 2003 may be out of date.

Digital Photography Information
I get so many questions about digital cameras and photography, and things keep changing so quickly, that I decided to start a blog. To see what I already have up on the LTC site, visit the LTC page. (You'll find a link to this blog there.)
Here are today's additions: PC Magazine is calling the Olympus E1 "the new standard in prosumer cameras." At $1800, it's a little steep for most of us, but the range of features is astonishing.
At $700, the Fuji FinePix S7000 delivers 6.3 megapixels--meaning that it is capable of near-photo quality output.
Stay tuned for more info; e-mail me at geverett@stonehill.edu if there's something you would like to add to this blog.
