I'm still waiting to see if the Fuji's last as long as the Nikkormats, which are still fully functional after 30+ years, though.
Bob Nicholson Bob, et al; I have been shooting digital for my documentary and news stuff exclusively for about ten years, and the digital cameras that I have used have been far more reliable, so far, than any film camera I ever owned-from Graphics to Leicas to Nikons to Canons, etc., etc. Part of the reason, I think, is that there are fewer moving parts in a digital camera and it is virtually entirely what we used to call "solid state." To create stunning, sharp from here to forever layout photos, the Helicon Focus program allows the user to shoot at almost wide open aperatures and the software stitches the images together seamlessly. The same can be done with film of course, but that approach involves shooting, processing the film, either editing the trannys or the contact sheets, then scanning in the selects. Digital is cheaper in terms of out of pocket expenses: no film, no lab processing, no mounting of slides, no making of contact sheets. I still use 120 and 4x5 film cameras for my exhibit work, however.
