(...) Thank ya Paul, and yes, you're right. It's SW meets DP9 meets lego. The tying of the theme together has been really fun. I had the SPLANG, HOPLAB and PELiCAN all together on a table... it was neat to compare them together. I'm keepin' these (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I don't think that's quite correct. If your CCD or CMOS chip has greater than 8 bits of depth on each spectral band (most do), then an on-camera digital zoom should contain more information than a post-processed zoom. For example, suppose you (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.publish.photography)
