There's a good feature in this week's New Scientist magazine on the rise of digital over film. Unfortunately it's not on their website, so you'll have to buy or borrow a copy of the mag. It seems the resolution of CCDs (the photo-taking electronic component) is increasing steadily, and will equal that of film in a year or two, while the price is halving every two years: it won't be long before digital will be both high quality and cheap.

The downside is, of course, that film is going to become more expensive. I don't want to ditch my camera and lenses, which I've spent a long time (and a few bob) building up.

There again, AA could have taken a masterpiece on a Kodak Brownie, while even with the most expensive and advanced modern camera, you still still chop Auntie Gladys's head off.
