Not so much "throwaway culture", more like "speak my mind even though I ain't got a clue culture".
film: oly mju II
digital: coolpix 3700 (cos this is wat i hav). sleek m compact with reasonable video capabilities

How about a Leica Minilux PnS 40mm f/2.4? Built like a tank and fine optics 
Wish I had that again... :cry:

These are the pictures that I took using Contax T3. I had blown up the pictures to 8 X 12 without any quality loss at all, really impressive! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Image quality is important to me or I won't spend so much on a P&S and a rangefinder system.
I did not want to start a film/digital debate over here. So anyone who wanted to start this, start another thread. :devil:
To quote your first post
Just insulted every digital user on this forum as a frivolous wastrel with no interest in serious photography or image quality. Maybe you can explain why Leica has gone digital as well?
Same with my 300D and 70-200L. Image quality is important to me or I wouldn't have spent so much on a digital system and lenses.
Sure you did
Just asking for it, so I obliged.
As for the pics, not sure what you are trying to show except low res scans with little detail and lots of grain. I'm sure the T3 is a great camera so please do it some justice and post a link to full sized pics or 100% crops of good high res scans, I will be very interested in viewing.

I must say misnomer is spot on. It's easy to hit and run isn't it
. Make some inane statement and then say "just my opinion, don't flame me!". I think if somebody wants to say "digital is throwaway, can't match film", then stand and fight your position! Cheers,

Huh?! Post a full sized pics or 100% crops of good high res scans here? For people to steal my pictures? Are you crazy? :bigeyes:
My defination of 'throw-away culture' means short-lived products. Nowadays, these comsumer-level or prosumer-level digital cameras are short-lived. After just a few years, the manufacturer will not have any spare-parts for repairs at all. My friend bought a Nikon Coolpix 995 for just a few years back then recently, his camera got some problems, so he send it to Nikon for repairs, guess what ---- Nikon Singapore quote the repairs at S$2000!! Nikon had very clearly soon that they are asking my friend to purchase a new camera. Do you think Nikon will produce a 2 mega-pixel CCD specially for you after 5 years? Go figure.
Personally I will not spend too much money on these short-lived products.
