Re: OT: Digital question

[Matt Bevers]

Again, I would argue that the good digital photos end up as prints, so 
you should print both and compare those.  Comparing a screen image to a 
print is essentially useless.  It should however, achieve your goal of 
once again "proving" that digital is inferior.

Thanks to all that replied.

Now I can unveil the purpose of my question. I want to do a 3rd cave 
film vs. digital test. My intention is to use typical setups for both 
and compare the quality of the images. I will use P&S cameras for both 
medias, and compare the quality of images on their respective 
preffered display media - minilab prints for film and computer 
monitors for digital (I won't bother with the camera's LCD display).

The cameras will be Olympus MjuII vs Canon Powershot 40. That's what I 
have readily available at hand. If you guys preffer a zoom film 
camera, based on the premise that it's unfair to have a prime vs. zoom 
test, I can borrow some, please choose between Olympus and Canon.

The next question I would like to know the answer is:

What kind of monitor is mostly used, i.e. LCD or CRT ?
