I never did figure out how they got the video tape out of those smart bombs to show on television but anyway :-)
Movies that have the red light in a dark room waiting for the bad giy to be found in a background shot just look old now - and somebody sitting over photoshop is just not the same. |

| This probably isn't a good thing, but... I do miss the anticipation of waiting for a roll of film to be developed tho :$ |

Boxes, cases, and cartons of negatives, prints, and slides occupy two closets in my house. I sold all the darkroom equipment and bought my first digital camera, the Kodak/Nikon DCS460. Never regretted it and spend many happy hours in my 'digital darkroom' producing far better results than could possibly be obtained using film on the same budget. Now I own a Nikon D50 that weighs 1/5 what the old DCS460 weighs (but the DCS460 still produces a sharper out of camera image than the D50).
Still have my Nikon F, Olympus OM-1, and Pentax K1000! Just can't bear to part with old friends. |

3) Being able to pull up the picture's file info to see what I did right or wrong, rather then looking at prints weeks later trying to remember what the settings were.

No more stained fingertips :-) No more being told to take a shower and "get rid of that stink" after an afternoon of processing. No more agitation marks on the film if you got lazy during processing. No more sudden opening of the darkroom door wiping out a day's worth of negatives being loaded into frames for processing. No more worrying about coolers to keep the film from heating up on long shoots. No more by guess and by gosh anticipations of reciprocity failure. No more all-or-nothing attempts at dodge and burn. I could go on...

Robt your "no mores..." really make it seem that we should have a "digital camera appreciation day" or something, lol! |

No more saying to your date "Let's go into the darkroom and see what develops!"
Well, someone had to say it - chuckle.

It's progress. It's natural. It's historical. It's fun. Here's a brief history of related quotes:
Caveman: "Ugh. Me draw on wall."
Egyptians: "My, how things have changed since our ancestors cave paintings."
DaVinci: "My-uh, how-uh things have-uh changed-uh, since-uh those beeeautiful-uh paintings in Egypt-uh"
Paul Delaroche: "From today, painting is dead!"
My Grandpa in the '50s: "I'm gonna pick me up some of those new-fangled colored postcards while we're on our vacation!"
Some college kid in the early 1990's: "Dude, it's OVER A MILLION PIXELS!"
This guy: "how things have changed since digital"
hahahaha - ahhhh - that was fun.
Now, how about the visual version:

We already GOT those... I guess if you mean, "at the consumer level...."?
I'm looking to live long enough to see projected images that you can walk INTO and change your position within; like walking the streets of the city and looking up and seeing a window open so jumoing up and hovering and looking IN the window, and seeing a chef at work in a kitchen so going THROUGH the window and standing there watching him cook, you get the idea...

This is also a great plus for people just starting out in photography. While learning photography with film, I used to take a little notepad and take notes on the different settings I dialed in on the camera for each shot for review later. Very tedious if you're changing settings regularly, and frustrating when you miss a great spontaneous shot because you were busy writing stuff down. |

i can imagine that in future the replacement of an image will be a MIND RECORDING ... where you can insert a chip into a machine plugged into your brain and re live the exact scene (picture, sounds, smell, temprature,... and maybe even how you felt )...

No more finding a used roll of film at the bottom of the bag and going out to get it developed and the "Oh wow, I forgot I shot that..." moment.
Now its - "Hey, who used my 1gig card to transfer music? This card is plugged up with Mp3's and e-books!" |

Get the same feeling--look back at some of your long-ago (at least 3 yrs) digital images tucked away some where on your hard drive; I must have hundreds that I don't even remember taking!! Guess it must be old age! |

Ever see the movie "Strange Days"? That was what the plot of that movie was based around... |

Then: I dropped off my film and picked up my prints the next day. Reviewed my images while still in the store and complained about how the processing was done.
Now: What prints?
Then: I took my prints in duplicate sets to show friends and family giving away copies of ones they liked.
Now: What prints?
Then: We sat at the dining room table and passed the prints around while telling stories about our recent adventures.
Now: I post-process, burn to disk, borrow a laptop and projector from work and corral everyone into the living room to share the stories of the vacation I took 10 months ago.
Then: Batteries and extra film.
Now: 2 battery packs, battery recharger, 3 CF cards and an X-drive with power supply.
Then: I took one odd picture of my cat âjust to finish up the roll.â
Now: 24 frames in burst mode of the cat sleeping on the couch âjust because I can.â

Haha, I used to have to sit around and divy up the duplicates to be given away. No it's dump 'em in an online gallery and they can have a look at them whenever they want
