Hi Bob,

I have a couple of very high end digital cameras (not 35mm-esque variants),
and I simply don't see the issues that some are discussing here...and I
unfortunately (or fortunately, for some I'm sure ;-) haven't had the time to
really delve into this discussion as I would have liked to...

BTW, I have an interface exactly like a scanner interface to one of my
digital cameras...where I set the setpoints, and adjust the curves etc. and
get the image...  Obviously, for "studio" work only...

Regards,

Austin
