We were on a boat traveling through an underground river, it's supposed to be pitch dark here, except for the flashlights held up by the passengers. We could barely see, but the amazingly sensitive sensors in modern digital cameras made this picture possible -- this was shot handheld with a decent shutter speed. Really amazing. Some people are saying that the camera can see better than us -- this has happened with special purpose cameras before, but now, everyone can afford one that really can see things we can't. Go take a picture with a decent DSLR, pixel peep and you'll likely see things you can't t see with your naked eye!! May be that's why people are filling up their storage cards in their cameras like crazy, so that somehow, sometime they would explore the images and see if they can find anything interesting.
I once commented on the development of the video cameras, that someday we don't have to think and compose and wait for the right moment to snap a still picture. We just turn on our video camera, point it towards things we may be interested, and later look through the video, find the frame that most represent what we want, and viola, use that frame for a still picture. it would happen when the video is of such high quality that each frame is already a still picture of "enough" pixel count. The thought gave me goosebumps.
