usenet-keskustelu vuodelta 1990

Nykynakökulmasta hauskoja mietintöja valokuvauksen tulevaisuudesta ja mahdollisesta(!) digitaalisen valokuvauksen yleistymisestä parin vuosikymmenen takaa :)

I think that electronic cameras will break into the “point and shoot” market.
Their ease of use and quick turnaround are very appealing to snapshooters.
Film will still be popular, probably as popular as now or more so. Computer
imaging still doesn’t hold a candle to good ol’ silver halides for resolution
and color. Some computer scanners do a damn good job, but CCD’s? Not anytime
in the near future. (There was a recent post detailing this subject so I
waste precious bandwidth by elaborating further.)

Home editing will be very popular among the snapshooters with their CCD still
cameras. Don’t want ugly uncle Bob draining that beer in the background? No
problem! A few keystrokes and it’s bye-bye Bob! Auto color-balancing will be
handy. People could experiment with toning without all those harsh chemicals.
More snapshooters could experience the wonder of black and white. It would
be very easy to convert a color picture to black and white. Another keystroke
(or maybe keys will be obsolete?) and the print could be sepia toned, for
that high-tech old-fashioned look.
