--Hey, I just got back a beautiful 16x20 of this image:
And I can truly say the quality is great. I feel completely
comfortable selling good quality images from the F717 at this size.
So don't limit yourself to greeting card size only ;-)

He's a real charmer. I guess he didn't sell you too many pictures.
Sounds like he should hire someone else to interface to the
customer.
digital and film. I mean... film sucks, end of story.

Sony 707 (Since Oct 14, 2002)
Canon S100 (Since Feb 2001)

I wouldn't do wedding photography if you paid me
Too many headachesI did not express myself properly... included in digicams are DSLR's, don't those have multiple lenses available to use ? You assumed I was referring to digical cameras with one lens.No it will not soon --- because no one piece of glass can do itsurpass the usefullness of a SLR.... it WILL happen, trust me. The
words "one hour photo lab" will be as extinct as a the caveman
all -- changeable lenses will remain -- 5x is asking too much... in
the DSLR we need 5 -6 pieces of glass to cover the range and have
the flexibility -- change is not about digital bodies, it is about
glass -- why do you think glass technology will change so rapidly??
I think you misunderstood what I meant and, that's very easy for me, I do it all the timeWhy do you think it is a fault to give sound advice to Sony usershttp://studiomgallery.com/gallery
PS, I had a feeling someone would turn this thread into a SLR vs.
digicam debate... not my intent or fault of course
who might want to see the advantages of using that film body or a
DSLR?
I did not mean fault in what you were saying... I meant not my doing that the thread turned towards a digital vs SLR comparison which really had nothing to do with my story. My story was about an SLR user, supposedly a professional, who was speaking to me in a denegrating way about digital cameras, purely based on the fact that he had some kind of problem with digital cameras... whatever his actual problem is, I'll never know...nor do I care at this point. It's hard enough with us F717 owners walking around getting "the look" everytime we pull it out to take pictures... then we have to deal with people like the guy I met selling his prints on the beach I like the way 8x10's come out and now seeing the results of the 16x20's I am really excited. I just sent some images off to made into slides and really looking forward to seeing how thy turn out as well.Isn't this medium a difficult one to express oneself -- i'd prefer sitting around chatting and having a few beers ..sorry if I did not express myself well, no reply necessary

Both cameras have strengths and weaknesses.

As this thread shows (great educational material here, BTW), it's more about knowing your camera, knowing your gear, and knowing your environment than anything else. You can pretty much do "pro-quality work" with nearly anything. If you know how and why you're using it.
