While that may be correct, they are subject to spontaneous catastrophic
failure which in the end is even worse. Factory pressed optical disks
don't spontaneously fail.

That only happens once. There's no *generational* loss as with analog

Any *real* camera will save images as RAW... :) No loss of anything there.
If you save JPG's with no compression, you don't loose virtually no pixel data.
My camera saves uncompressed JPG's, and when I save them from Photoshop, I save
them at maximum quality, which is basically uncompressed.

While that is true, and USB has a higher peak speed (480mbps vs 400mbps for
