Just when you think Randal Schwartz has nothing left to write about, he shows off his shiny new Canon 20D Digital SLR.

My F100 (model launched around 1999) has 1/8000 as well and costs a lot less...

Right. Nothing special about film cameras having 1/8000th of a second. My excitement was seeing a good digital capture for that speed.
