My Oxford American Dictionary says, "a picture formed by means of the chemical action of light or other radiation on a light-sensitive surface". That is a verbatim quote.
It says nothing about film, nor about the need for chemical processing. And the conversion of light to electrons is indeed a chemical action in the sensor material. BTW, my dictionary is copyright 1980, so it pre-dates this argument by a bit.
