Soon, I’m not certain exactly when, but sometime in the reasonbly near future, there will come a time when Digital Camera CCD (CMOS, or whatever other technology is coming down the road) will be sufficient to capture film like resolution and detail with ease and relatively low cost. Shortly after this time large CCD’s (or whatever) will be cheaper and more reliable to manufacture in the same way we’ve seen from CPU fabricators. I will welcome this day with relish, because we can all get back to the fundamentals of creating great images, practicing our technique and worring about aspects of our image making other than if we have a good enough resolution to go to A3.

Right now, I need a camera with better resolution, but cannot bring myself to go back to using film. I look forward to the future with interest, to see what it holds for us, but most of all I look forward to going back to creating images, where the resolution of your images was a minor worry, not a major one.
