Blog: The Great Megapixel Swindle

[Mcary]

Sorry for barging in here late, Bill. What I want to know is: in light of all this, why, exactly, has Rochester been repeatedly slagged on "missing" the digital boat altogether? I agree they've made some boneheaded moves in specific ways, but knuckle-draggers they weren't, and I say this as someone who prefers film for his own output.

And, speaking of the film-digital stuff: my mainline digital rig is an aging Olympus C-8080, whose "mere" 8mp continue to please my needs where digital output is concerned. I also appreciate the alacrity of my pocketable Casio EX-850, even though it's limited to JPEG output (also 8mp). Perhaps there's a metric in all this that's being missed here?

While there's no arguing that the Kodak DSC13 and NX had their fans the simple fact of the matter is that when compared with what the competition had to offer namely the 1Ds and then the 1DSmrkII Kodak offering fell short.
Simple put the DSC13 was a big dud, one with a full frame sensor but still a big dud.
