I agree here as well.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really sick and tired of all this digital snarkiness.

I'm also waiting for the day when a modern digital video camera-- and face it, that's what it is, video -- will physically last as long as the most average Super 8 or 16 one, let alone 35mm.

And when they don't-- which they won't-- will their discardability and obsolescence then be seen as a philosophical virtue? Probably.Pacific Daylight Time, dcinema2134 at yahoo.com writes:
