I agreed, Marco, It gets to the point like the old muscle cars, who needs 500 HP to go the the 7-11. Recall when Computers were very expensive, in today's money a one meg video card would be a $1000, I paid $2800 for a 8 meg speed mono-CPU, not dual or quad, mono!! It turbo at 12 meghz, Computer with perhaps 128 meg of memory. Cameras will get to the point that with the existing tech they can go no further and so the cost will be the driving force in competition. Until,, well what can they do for the next show.... ?
At this point how could Hiking Man's photos be any better?? The answer we agree is none better. Ok, well the last shot could have auto layering for depth of field and could be in 3D. Then what?? and So What!!
I venture Man-who-Hikes could sell prints for a goodly price. No competition is around for these photos.
Camera Club,,, hay, real people,, I am a member of Tampabay Camera Club, mytbcc.com and have learned so much from the other members. Meeting twice a month is wonderful, a family of mutual friends and mentors. Good for the mental health and well being. If not a member, join one, if none to join, start one. Enjoy.

I hope your right about being able to sell these photos. I'll find out next month when I put up my booth at a crafts show I participated in the past three years. Last year people were asking me if I had any bird photos, and I did not. This year I'll be ready! I'm having them printed on canvas and they do look good. Some people who have seen them on the Internet have sent me checks and asked me to have them mailed to them. They reported back that they love them. So far I have sold four and I'm not even trying.
Oh, about 24+ MP. It's not so much about blowing them up to the size of a wall, as it is about being able to crop and still have a good clear detailed picture. BTW, I see plenty of room to make my photos better and hope to do so next year. Thank you for all your kind words.
