I hear that a lot of the digital stuff is being bought by companies ... not photographers who have to invoice their costs. A friend of mine, a successful freelancer, now for AP, is totally digital, so it's not all companies and corporations. He wouldn't be able to hold his job without it. He hasn't gone into a darkroom for several years and hasn't used film for about three. He's your photojournalist. Let's see if I remember his link correctly: http://www.oz.net/~phojo (yep, it was right).
