[LargeFormat] Pollie sheets and digicheckers

[Jim Brick]

A lot of professional photographers use a digital camera instead of 
Polaroid for both exposure and composition determination. Many digital 
cameras have complete manual override, such as the Canon Powershot G2, and 
you can calibrate your systems so that film exposure data can be gleaned 
from the digital exposure and what you see on the camera LCD. Plus you have 
a 4mp digital backup of what you are shooting if you so choose. Handy.

We don't need no stink'n Polaroid.
