Advantages: Quick and simple to use

Disadvantages: Big money, small file size

The D1 is becoming the standard kit for many press outfits, be it the local rag or the nationals, and with a lap top and mobile phone images can be flashed aroud the globe at amazing speed.

But is it worth spending around five grand (with a couple of lenses) for the pleasure? If you make your living with a camera, and the images will only be used on printed pages or in screen based applications, then it certainly is.

For those of us who want a print on the wall, then digi cameras still don't hack it compared to images that result from a good quality film scanner.

Remember, if the best photographic quality is desired, size still matters, be that the film format or file size, and 2.74 meg pixels are still small beer if decent sized prints are required.
