Film Compact Kicks Digital Compacts ASS.

[ajuk]

I used you to say this when I really didn't know for sure becuase I would compare my Film SLR to my digital compact, I had just herd on the grapevine that Film compact could kick a Digital compacts but in image quality. But I went out and bought an Olympus XA2, and shot a roll and WOW its amazing, almost as sharp as a pic taken on my SLR wideangle prime, Its a shame digital compacts are killing film compacts and companies have all but given up pushing film cameras, when film compacts are so good, and they don't seem to have much good to say about film cameras, and they ******** customers with claims that having Xmegapixels affects the quality of the image, when it doesn't the lens counts more.

I know My Fuji F610 isn't brand new but its no dinosaur and things maybe slightly better, but what is limiting Digital compacts is sensor size and a 7x5" is an extreme enlargement. (infarct I the size difference between a 35mm full frame and that on my compact is TWICE the difference between 35mm and 4x5 Large format! ) And I don't think things are going to get better until the sensor sizes get bigger Much Bigger.

I'm not saying that Digital compacts dont have a use they do, Like uninportant pictures and stuff you wana put on the net and the picture is taken for that purpose.
I really Don't want to go into the useuall Film Vs Digital debate (IE Comparing Film SLRs to Digital SLRs) Because I would rather not go there, But that is what I think of compacts.
