graywolf,

All I can say, is that I am more than pleased with my 67 stuff -
plenty of details (way more than 35mm or 6mp DSLR).  I have my little
Optio S for quick snaps. At some point I'm sure that I will get a
DSLR, but for the time being, I'll stick with film and what it has to
offer me (when quality is concerned).
