Re: Film is not dead :-)

[Paul Stenquist]

People are already shooting large format digital. They use multiple  
scanners on the back of a large format camera and then tile the results  
on a computer. It looks pretty good, and it will only get better. But  
regardless of how good digital becomes, some will still shoot film.  
That extra step from film to scan to digital also provides and element  
of control. it can be a good thing.

Digital is nowhere near film in the large format
arena. I'm getting close to 200 megapixels scanning
4X5 film. Once they come up with affordable sensors approaching
this number, maybe THEN film will be dead.
It'll happen long before that.
