 Rec.photo.digital will continue to remain very popular. It is not the 
 intentions of any of the proponents to kill the parent group. It will, 
 however, give users the option of participating in a forum that focuses 
 on issues more common to their camera - with beginners, intermediate, 
 and advanced users of that camera type in each group. Newbies will 
 probably find RPD first. Perhaps owners of digital SLR systems, digital 
 rangefinders, or any of the other categories might immediately recognize 
 which group is appropriate. If not, they will figure it out.
