Now that little artisticand scientific task is presumed by some computer chip that don't knownuthin. It is especially bad when it comes to close-ups. So you are an ancient geezer also who speaks in terms of REAL CAMERAS? iused to be a photographer for one of my day jobs, a term I assume isfamiliar to musicians and artists and I was GOOD. gimme a digital cameraand i am a MORON. i am astounded however at the quality of the amateur photos in thisplace, they out do the photos I saw in books taken by real cameras upuntil about 12 years ago. hermine HTML +More --=====================_206914234==.ALT----==============P09015720404103909=
