When I first started photography, my original camera was a manual-focus SLR where you advanced the film with your thumb after every shot. When I became interested in sports photography, I bought my first motor drive, which automatically advanced the film at a blazing three frames per second. Then came autofocus, which felt incredible at the time. After that came digital cameras with four megapixels of resolution, and over the years, resolution, noise control, white balance, and overall performance improved exponentially.
