Rick Housh asked why professioanls would need a relatively low resolution digital camera when they can get far superior results with film. The answer is often time. Using a camera such as a Kodak DCS means the photographer can photograph the winning shot, gold medal presentation, riot etc, and download the image via his mobile phone to his editor/agency before the silver image has been rewound into its cassette, let alone been developed. This can mean the image is on the front page and sold around the world while it is still newsworthy. With the film version, the negs have to be developed and scanned before being sent down the line. A recent article in one of the U.K. photo magasines showed the winners of (I think) the World press awards-most were digital. Stewart.
