Yes, I began to understand how amazing today's cameras are only after a 70 year old producer friend of mine sent me this story and explained what an enormous difference the ability to cheaply film would have made in Orson Welles' entire life.
 
What a great story! Takes me back to my days with Beta in '84, but without Orson, of course.
Just think what Welles might have done with a DVX and a box of tapes (I can just see his eyes getting big with delight!).
