There's a photo been submitted by a new entrant to the Oly Gallery, a picture 
of a rose in full bloom taken with the C-2000.  When I first saw it, I couldn't 
believe it was digital.  Nice pic.  Hopefully, I'll get the chance to put the 
new submissions up this weekend (four out of seven submitters done so far...).

I wouldn't sweat it.  Advances in silver chemistry keep making 35mm film more 
and more attractive as a medium, at least to me.  Digital's fun, but digital 
and film will live together for many years (probably many decades) before film 
is superseded.
