Nostalgia is fine. In some cultures, it takes ages to make one cup of tea. It is fine. Many hobbies are based on non current technologies, it is common.

It is also fine to leave nostalgia aside....

Every time MP count goes up, banding often occurs. With such significant upgrade, not sure what happens. May the bands will be so fine that we won't see it?

Why is it that there are no distant shots at all?

After paying for every shot in film and development costs and not having to pay for it, I cannot be persuaded back to film. Now I can afford insane number of experimental shots and have very short...

Same same.

Confession: I also own AF lenses and newly designed MF lenses as well. But having used manual everything for so long, one shoots with the same care even when using full auto.

We used to hold voice conversations over the atmospheric air as well during the sharing too. Now everything is in digital bits.

No build in flash means no to me. Nowadays large flash units have long been in the shelve for year but that tiny flash in the body is really required.

To me the word "Important" is neutral. E.g. Nikon announced, marketed, sold and killed many "important" products. It seems Nikon is only reliable within it's own F mount environment. Ooops now...

Time flies! I wanted that. Didn't purchase and now it's gone!

Mine has significant focus shift. I am poor too!!
