Digital BW, The Print

Well, there were more than a few pros who bought and used the N8008 as
their primary camera, and continued to use it well for years because it
worked for them.  I use my D100 professionally, and I know others who do
also.  I also know lots of pros that use the Fuji S2Pro, which is no
more "pro" than the D100 or N80 it's built on.  All I'm saying is that
if a camera gives you the results you need, then those results are not
going to somehow become less good when newer stuff comes out.

Thanks,
Ed
