Mike,
The gentleman I was talking to today is a well respected camera repairman. The go to guy for camera info locally.
I did not solicit the information.
I did notice however a thread on the Nikon D70 and the problems that were occurring with that.
My camera has given me 25 years of faithful service. It was recommended to me, as well as the lenses, by a well-known Magnum photographer. He said the digitals are in for repair every 6 months.
I also noticed another thread about copying art and the difficulties with the dslr's. The camera person told me that the people at the museums were also having problems successfully copying paintings with the digitals.
He also said the wedding photographers are returning to film.
My 85mm lens is a fast f1:2. There is no lens faster that I know of.
I would argue the print quality. I would need at least a 11 megapixel camera to give me the quality of the large blow-ups I have needed in the past. Small 8x10's are not a problem, but try a D70 on a 30x40 or bigger print and see what happens.
