PS I: Didn't mean to offend anyone, and my apologies if anyone feels offended. "Why would anyone want that, other than for those silly holiday or party shots ?" Not offended, just a bit defensive. After 40 years of film all sizes and types, I bought a digital camera to learn the process. I like it very much and get good not great results. Printing 8 x 10 that is better than I expected with color balanced and reasonable detail. Fine florals with color and edges. As my techniques and knowledge increase the results will improve. Cost vs capability says use 35 mm and a good film scanner. You have to really understand the technology to understand the positives and negatives of digital. My reference to digital cameras and light values is that recording correct images in digital has some limitations not found using film. As for professionals they are moving toward digital in many areas.
