And the result has been a lot of really bad images. I don't
thinks it's digital itself (except in low-light situations),
but compression artifacts from jamming media full of compressed
images. The Newsweek WTC flagraising cover shot was a disgrace.
Thank goodness they didn't have digital at Iwo Jima.
Kennerly made a big deal over how he was going to shoot the
White House transition in digital, and his shots looked awful.
Digital, even without artifacts, has a long way to go for
interior available light.
OTH, the Sports Illustrated "Masterpiece" cover that knocked
everyone out was shot with medium format (Mamiya 7).
Quick. Cheap. Good... Pick two.
