I used to use a camera that used 35mm film. 35mm was a semi-amateur format that worked out well because it was so portable, and it became ubiquitous.
I bought a swell digital camera that took 640×480 pictures! The pictures were crappy compared to the 35, but I quit using the 35, and I have lots of prized pictures that were taken with the 640×480. The 640 is history. I replaced it with a nice camera that takes megabyte-size picture files, and I have lots of pictures from that. They take more room to store than the 640, but plenty fit on a CD so it’s no real problem.
Now I have a camera that takes 20 megabyte pictures. I really like the pictures it takes. I just don’t know how I’m going to store them.
