yep, too right. the vast majority will never notice. so why buy lenses of ?1000. when the best the camera can resolve, would be that if a ?200 one.
, then they save the image in JPG!! that's the thing, even Olympus see no point in conning people any more. until we can significantly increase quality. its little more than a con to keep producing new cameras( or cameras with ever increasing pixel counts).
CCD's or CMOS will not get bigger. well that's not true. there are already large format CCD's. but these are useless as portable units. as a result 24x36 will be the biggest image sensor, to be placed in a 35mm equivalent camera. anything larger would require a totally new lens range including "lens mount". the lenses would be bigger and heavier, making autofocus a nightmare.
I 100% agree on the editing front. digi wins hands down. but, also, Photography looses too. its no coincidence that photography, for the most part, is taught with print film still. the processes you go through to make a print. highlight the salient points of photography.
try going to a "photography/camera" club. ask about, see how many people know how the figure of 18% relates to photography. actually the founding basis of capturing an image, even today.
or asking them what film they think was used to shoot classic films like the Wizard of Oz or Gone with the Wind. again the answer leads to one of the founding principals of photography.
even better, ask how many save their pictures in RAW format.
these guys can talk me round any camera on sale today. yet few if any could take a shot of an aircraft (in the air) that is properly exposed and focused, with their multi hundred ? gear. yet it can be done with no problem with the same camera on manual, for both focus and exposure.( its quicker too)
the above is not to show my vast knowledge of photography, indeed i have only mentioned above, things that any "self-respecting" camera owner should know before they take a shot. but too many dont.
