Looks like digital cameras are set to become obsolete and depreciate in
value faster than pocket calculators. A very good reason not to spend much
on one until the ultra-high resolution ones are down in the $300 range. That
is unless you use one in a commercial operation and hence can write off such
losses and this is compenasated by the digital advantages of instant
results, transfers and publishing.

Subject: [OM] [OT] Canon announces 11 Megapixel EOS

Well, it's getting up there real fast these days (digital resolution, that
is):
"Photokina marks the 15-year anniversary of EOS as a brand. Canon is
announcing two new EOS models at the show - the world's highest resolution
Pro-camera, the EOS 1Ds and the EOS 300V, which is predicted to become the
world?s number 1 selling SLR camera.
The EOS-1Ds features the first ever full frame 35mm CMOS sensor with 11.1
million effective pixels. The EOS-1Ds capture astounding detail & colour,
almost doubling the resolution ordinarily considered state of the art for a
digital SLR camera in the world today."

Interesting. At this rate, we'll probably see a 20 Megapixel prosumer
camera within five years -- maybe even within two.
