When I checked out Nakita's pictures, you can instantly tell what kind of camera it was taken with. For some reason you just don't get the same quality of picture from a digital than you do from a 35 mm.
Actually, there are some limiting factors at play with the current Nakita photos.

First, this is a brand new camera for me so I have not become comfortable enough with all its features, therefore, a dimished image automatically. So don't base digital comparison off my initial attempts.

Second, all shots that I posted were indoor shots. Digitals are known for their bad photo capabilities in low light situations (unless an external light source is available).

Third, I reduce the quality of the pic before placing it on the internet. I have done that since another person took my pictures and entered them in a photography contest without my permission.


I did read previously, that in order for a digital to compare to a 35 mm, the camera would have to be a minimum of 12 megapixels. Not sure if that is true, but it seems reasonable. Also, when you start hitting the higher pro cameras there is a remarkable difference.

So I wouldn't cast off the digital just yet. Digital photography is in its infancy and will catch up.
