I certainly enjoyed that the reference point in the review is good ol' film. It's fun to remember those days and lusting after such equipment. |
Ah yes, the good old days, when the film-vs-digital debate burned hotter than the hinges of Hades! ;-)

What's perhaps most surprising to me is the realization that a 14MP full frame camera was created in 2002. After all, as much as we complain about the megapixel race, it really hasn't seen the same changes in the full-frame world as it has in the P&S market over the same period of time. |
Yep, both the Kodak and also the Canon 1Ds (11.4 Mpx). Arguably, the Canon was a more polished product, but at an astoundingly high price point. It's amazing to see how far the "full frame" 35mm segment has come in the decade since. We now have products that do flirt with the medium format performance specs and yet feature operational speed and AF performance we'd have killed for then, at price points that continue to fall (though not as fast as in the past).
It's going to be an interesting next decade, methinks.
