highlights

Digital photography is making amazing progress. There are still two areas though where I hope it will soon leap way ahead of where film is. Those are
1) sensitivity. I want to handhold photos in almost any light. (This area is already ahead of film, admittedly.)
2) contrast handling. Even in overcast whether I still sometimes get pictures where the camera couldn't handle the contrast, and it looks awful.
It seems a step has been made in the latter area by Canon.
