Lenses being equal, a large format 8×10 piece of film can capture the equivalent of 800 Megapixels. Just saying. But does it matter? Discuss!
Gizmodo ’79 is a week-long celebration of gadgets and geekdom 30 years ago, as the analogue age gave way to the digital, and most of our favourite toys were just being born.

I am married to a photographer who has a Canon EOS and a Hasselblad medium format, and she uses both. The Hass is for shots that allow a long window of opportunity, shots that she has already decided on, located, and sussed out. The Canon is for walking around and catching life on the fly. Generally, she shows her digital work as smaller (8×10) prints, and the Hass… well, whatever she wants. Different needs, different cameras. Isn’t that always the way?
