All the more reason to have fast primes in front of a digital back I say!
Short shutter speeds = less noise. Give me a full-frame
sensor but make mine with very large pixels so I can shoot in low light, in a
Canon body for $600. I'll wait, thank you. Until
then, it's Fuji 800 pushed one stop and a MiJ on a tripod-mounted OM.
