Guys and Gals,

Let me preface my question by saying that I don't want to start a battle
over which is better, etc.  We have been up and down that road alot lately.

My question for you techno types - does a digital camera such as an E-20
record the colors in a day lite scene more accurately than a film camera
without a filter?  In other words, if I shoot the same scene with a digital
camera and an OM with a MC prime lens and no filter, will the digital camera
record the colors more accurately as it is goverened by the maping of the
pixels while film is governed by the chemical reaction to the light?

An example is the rendering of blue sky.  I haven't had a chance to have the
test with my film camera developed yet, but my E-20 records a southern blue
sky accurately.  Will Fuji Superia 200 do so?  I have taken the film photo
today also.  I'll let you know my impressions in a future email.

Just curious.

Dave Dougherty
