This conversation made me think of something. I have an OM-PC that my father
used that he handed down to me with a smattering of lenses. I have used this
camera for my entire shooting career until it finally gave up the ghost
(electronics) and I upgraded to an OM-4T. I imagine that OM-PC got at least
~20 years of useful shooting life.
Now I look at my Dell Laptop. It was the greatest when I bought it two years
ago... it's slow now.
Are digital cameras going to age like Laptops, or like our venerated
photographic instruments?

with few exception (i think the holographic sony and some other one that
paints a pattern) no digicam i've used (consumer grade, granted) can do
well in low light, or ambient. i can do far better (being still south of
older age ranges). even w/o a dedicated dark room, i'd shoot film--a
darkroom would make the case for film more compelling, certainly.
