Hi, I just read an article in the letters page from Paul Richardson and just to say your reply was very poor indeed. What has the darkroom got to do with whether a camera can do or not do? in film days it was and still is a separate part of photography, today they call it software.
He is not the only one out there that believes that DSLR stands for Digital Lens Reflex Camera and NOT Digital Reflex VIDEO Camera.
If you want to take photographs then use a DSLR if you want to take movies buy a VIDEO camera, and if the weight bothers you having to carry the two then make up your mind what you want to be, a movie maker or a photographer?.
I agree also with his comment that if the makers of DSLR's put the extra monies into the camera for what a camera was defined to do TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS! we would get better PHOTOGRAPHY cameras rather than functions as photographers we probably will never use.
Photography and Movies are different hobbies lets keep it that way.
