[pct-l] Digital Camera Batt's

I'm a bit puzzled here...this is not my area of expertise, but I have read 
that standard silver technology (i.e. camera film) functions at the equivalent 
of 6 megapixel.  As a consequnce I understand that Kodak is planning all sorts 
of market response like increasing the 6 meg figure, kiosks where you drop 
your film and get prints - or a CD - in a matter of minutes, all sorts of bells 
and whistles.

Which would lead me to believe that for digital cameras under 6 meg the 
picture quality is necessarily inferior to that of a disposable camera.  The real 
advantage of digital is composition...with a disposable you don't know really 
what you've got (unless, I suppose, you're a professional) until you get your 
prints.  For me this means about 1 of 10 pictures I take is a "keeper."  Using 
a digital (currently I have a 1 meg...more of a toy  then a camera) I can look 
at the picture I've taken and decide right there and then what to do with it 
(as in I'm deleting this picture and taking it again after I walk 3 paces to 
the left.) 

So...I beleive that if you've a digital under 6 meg and you're saying that 
you're digital pictures look better than you're film pictures it has more to do 
with the the way the digital camera allows you to use it rather than the 
camera itself.
