And I bet you still rub two sticks together to make fire so you can use your
pin hole camera in your cave :-) <English humour here guys>

I'm not in any way entering into the digital v film debate or suggesting
that the skill set required to get a good image has diminished. It is a
simple fact that modern cameras make it easier for everybody to get a
technically correct image..... whether that image has any form of value
(artistic, commercial, historical, emotional) is entirely down to the viewer
- who generally has no idea or interest in the kit used to capture it.

The word processor analogy is quite interesting. Do you suggest that we all
go back to hand written letters and snail mail in order to improve our
literary skills? Of course if we did go back to stone and chisel.... sorry,
pen and ink... this list would cease to exist.

Sounds like the level of promotion given to digital and satellite television
for improving content and word processors for improving one's writing
skills! Just bunkum! Dumbing down the essential core skills and knowledge is
all too typical of the modern day marketer.

I still prefer my OM4T and M3 as photo taking devices and my tube amp era
stereo gear for making sound
