It doesn't mean I have to like it....
I will be the last holdout, many, many, years from now with my manual focus
LX and slide film while EVERYONE around me is shooting digital....
My original point was that digital photography is not and never will be a
REPLACEMENT for film. It is just another medium as videotape is to motion
picture film. I think this statement gives a better sense of what I was
trying to say before.
And before any one argues the whole videotape vs. film issue let me say that
video has replaced film in consumer markets but not in the motion picture
and documentary industry.

Even if the digital images are transferred to film, if the resulting color
saturation and contrast looks like film, then the digital image must have
been that good in the first place for film to capture it.
Furthermore, all-digital projection *is* coming. The most recent Star Wars
movie was shot directly onto computer, then edited and assembled and put
onto film for distribution. But a few places (with high-dollar equipment)
displayed it digitally, so what the viewers saw at the theatre were images
that had never been on film at all anywhere in the process.
There's a lot more of this kind of thing coming...
