After the Aha! Moment #53

It's sometimes a surprise to me which things I post draw the most comments. The following story triggered a huge number of comments. First, if you haven't read Aha! Moment #53, skip down to the next item and come back. Here are a couple of things that came from readers:

  • "Ever since I got my D700 I've been thinking that shooting in the FX digital format feels like shooting 2-1/4 film did for me back in the day." [thom: a lot of folk wrote in about perception versus actual image quality performance, which surprised me.]
  • There are photographers who've carried large format film equipment to the Wave. As if on cue, one of them reports that they've moved to MF digital.
  • "I am a D200 shooter who would love to have a smaller lighter SLR system. I, myself, have no interest in ever moving to FX cameras." [thom: a number of people expressed this desire: smaller, lighter cameras with the same level of quality they currently experience. That's why the E-P1, GF-1, and X1 all represent a potential shift away from Nikon if Nikon doesn't make their own mini DX camera.]
