Re: [APML] OT: Digital camera pic from Johannes Schedler

Jeff, this is an incredible image.  Much better than I
would have thought possible with conventional consumer
digital cameras out there.  Maybe we should give this
technology more time to mature, and then consider this
after film choices run out?  My guess is that consumer
digital cameras will still have a long way to go
before catching up to current CCD quality though.
