With the ongoing advances in digital cameras, what kinds of boards would you like to see added to the Digital Section?

With the ongoing advances in digital cameras, what kinds of boards would you like to see added to the Digital Section? How about a board that bans condensed, boldface lettering and boosts extended lettering. Are you trying to blind us? Mickey  |

Probably a point and shoot section, a DSLR area and maybe one to discuss potential digital collectibles.

Or something that keeps the old glass alive, like a NEX attached to a MTO; or an early lens (Unar etc) attached to digital.

For me digital cameras are all the same ... and there are already too many ( different models, coz every maker is releasing a new one nearly every month meanwhile ), but if a new digital section, than what Hansz said ... old glass on whatever you can screw it on meanwhile.

I agree with Berndt and Hans. Something for old glass on digital bodies. That's almost entirely what I use  |

The old glass idea is a good one. Some DSLRs have provisions specifically to use old glass. Some can use some old glass but not other old glass. Good topics for discussion.

I've crated the catagories, and moved it. If any of you Mods see posts that need moved to another catagory, go ahead and move it. You can edit by clicking on the gear on the upper right corner.

Good categories for digital postings, after all we all have them...? Most of my photographs are on old lenses with digital bodies, it is only large format or fixed compacts that demand "film and scan" now. Soon be collecting early digital next!, mind you I have a draw full of old cheap digital purchases from Ebay already, and one or two are very good, like the Pentax S40, and the Fuji 4900, they are as good as current given the pixel count.

May I suggest "Compacts" rather than "Point-and-shoot". Pointing and shooting is a method, not a camera design, often practised by early Leica photographers (wide angle, f8, hyperfocal distance, shoot from the hip). Pointing and shooting is also practised by many DSLR owners (full auto, jpg compression, camera picking the ISO and zoom level).
Afterthought on 3 Aug: I have a compact Canon G11 that I never point and shoot with. Most of the time I use AV (aperture priority, my preference since the 1950s), occasionally P for flash, always raw format. Same procedure with the DSLR.
