Re: [APML] OT: Nikon N90 vs N90s

["Bobby Middleton" <bobm@koyote.com>]

You're right about biting a bullet........maybe a mortar round <g>. I've
never priced them until now but I pretty much new that a digital setup good
enough to do large prints would be high.
Sounds like this camera is up to some somewhat serious enlargement. But I'm
going to go with film for a while longer. The "old dog new trick" syndrome
if you know what I mean. I don't have a lot of spare time to learn the ropes
now for a new discipline. But thanks for the info,
Bobby
