Attached Link: Film still kicks ass

As I point out in the referenced link above(my earlier post) future proofing is not just a matter of media and storage, it's also a matter of making the data worthwhile years from now. That's the big DIRTY SECRET of digital photography. :( Remember when you thought 640x480 32-bit color was COOL?? In 15 years (the same amount of time)what will you think of your 6 megapixel image? You'll think it's crap, of course. Because your kid's camera in their cellphone will be shooting 64 megapixel 128-bit color. Heck, I remember when I used to think ASCII ART porn was "neat" 25 years ago. In 25 years, will the stuff we're doing now just be "quaint" and "retro"? mjr.
