Via Slashdot comes news of a striking new development in digital camera technology. Even more people will be coming up to me after they have heard the electro-mechanical winding of my 35mm film camera and asking, “Ooh, can I have a look at the preview?”

Electro-mechanical winding? Luxury. My Pentax S1 and Fujica ST801 (one of the great cameras, but better with the Pentax lens) are handwound, as is proper.
Ha ha! My 35mm film camera is manually wound.
In the field of luddite-chic I surpass you.
Damn you Damian!
I’ve been meaning to buy a high quality digital camera for a while, and since reading that review I have spent 3 days absorbed in the pros and cons of a Sony R1 compared to a Sony F828 or a Canon Digital Rebel XT (with upgraded 17-85 lens).
Cannot decide what to do…been on all the forums, still can’t decide…maybe wait for the R1’s successor?
