cornell/wally missed the point. The fact that equipment is expensive or not is not at issue. If a person is going to spend money on a Canon automatic camera, they ought to get what will do the job. IE: there are too many hacks in these electronic marvels anyway - so why put up with something less than convenient? Poor cornell/wally got sidetracked on the price issue. It is not correct that the cost of equipment is not what makes the photographer (some of my best work was done with a box camera I got for two dollars). BUT - the issue is not "good" photography, but dealing with a specific technical situation, namely, double exposure (or any of the problems inherent with automatic cameras). Thus, it may be a consolation to those who own $500 cameras that they are not necessarily doomed to photographic mediocrity. David C.
