Is a DSLR worth spit ?

You know how they use "dots per inch" (dpi) for digital images. With film the dpi is .

Searches part of investigation into possible unlawful funding of French president’s election wins in 2017 and 2022.

Financial prosecutors at the Parquet National Financier confirmed the evidence-gathering raids on Tuesday, as initially reported by newspaper Le Parisien.

DSLR? That takes a whole lot of ‘splainin”. In my view it depends on your intended use. While I have digital cameras I find them useful for things like advertising, showing something on the web and so on.
But for quality pics that I want for the record/album/wall I stick with film SLR’s. Every now and then I take a sky shot at night. Film is the only way to go, for instance.

One thing I notice is that most digital photos get lost in the cloud. People shove their cell phones at me to show me some great shot of something but then it will never be seen again. And I notice the stores don’t sell many photo albums anymore. That means family albums won’t be around. I have my own family albums going back 3 generations and will keep it going for the next, but I think there will be a lost generation of family histories.

And making prints from digital pics seems to be a lost/missing aspect of current life for most folks? While Kodak paper can be had for printers few seem to use it?

As a totally aside matter when this killing in Moscow Idaho happened I dug out my album from the 1960’s. At the time I lived in the only house that was on the block where the killings happened, about 100 yds away from the death house. I had taken a few pics in the neighborhood when I lived there, little has changed except new buildings, and so was quickly able to understand the basic circumstance. Point being there is no way anyone living there now will have similar pics six decades from now?
