[filmscanners] Re: Canon IDs vs Pentax 67II



for SLR digicams, there is a real shutter.  That's in part why they have so
much better image quality and less shutter lag than consumer digicams.  I've
got to catch an airplane, but I can elaborate on why later.

And on the other hand there is certainly an awareness that the camera
will be technologically obsolete in a couple of years due to rapid
development.  Why design a shutter that will last longer than the
useful life of the camera?
