Re: OT: Digital question

[Matt Bevers]

I'm trying to say that "typical use" is to print the keepers whether 
they were shot on digital or film.  This is what I was trying to 
explain in part B of my previous message, which you chose not to reply 
to or even quote in making your snide response.  I'll copy it again 
here in case anyone missed it.

Does my interpretation of "typical use" make sense to anyone else, or 
am I crazy?

B) I don't mean "good" as in the best quality possible, I mean "good" 
in terms of the best of a number of photos taken with the same camera.  
Say you take 10 pictures of Aunt Bea at her birthday party, 2 have 
someone leaning in the frame, she has her eyes closed in 4, her mouth 
open and full of food in 3 others.  The last picture, where she has a 
nice smile just before she blows out the candles on her cake, goes to 
the lab or the inkjet so you can keep a print.  I think this is how 
digital cameras are being used in many cases, so I think comparing 
prints is a valid test.

I said "typical use". If you want something else, feel free to perform 
your own test.
