Sonia, I think it's an interesting point that you've made! It's true that when you want to give your b/w pictures an old, historical look, digital photos are often too clear, too cold and they lack of atmosphere. Don't know how to express it any better.

Thanks for signing the guestbook btw!

Forgot to say: I use a Canon PowerShot A200 for more than three years. I'm satisfied with the close-ups, but not with landscape shots. I plan to get a another one by the end of the year.
