DIGITAL CAMERAS -- Photo Opp?

However, the experiences of early adopters soon revealed that the photographer's "eye" still was required to get acceptable results from digital cameras. Knowing how to light the scene, in particular, remains a crucial skill. That's not to say the importance of prepress expertise in optimizing the workflow and results is in any way lessened. Photo-graphers also must contend with the issue of cost, since a complete digital system—camera, calibrated monitor, color proofer, etc.—still is a barrier for many.
