With the right postprocessing (I actually use a lot of the same tricks I first picked up in 1998, cleaning up my tiny blurry pixellated Kodak DC25 images) I get wonderful digital-display images and serviceable 5x7 prints, or artistically-retro shots like yours (love it!). I think about getting a pocketable P&S every now and then, but the only real feature I lack is zoom and if Henri Cartier-Bresson didn't need it, neither do I!
