Brian,
I did not see your original post, but I wonder why the artificial
limitations you place on a digital camera image. Certainly a scanned
film image is gigantically larger than 3.3 MB. The dynamic range of a
digital camera is considerably wider than a slide and there are
techniques to deal with a wider dynamic range. So there is no need to
confine shooting to non-contrasty subjects.
