I don't see it as having a video look to it at all. But it's more challenging to
get correct exposures since the latitude isn't there as it is in film. The
cameras need every bit of computer exposure calculation to get you a good shot
if things are difficult.

On the other hand they HAVE that. And you can look at many sports images and
know they were shot with digital cameras. It's a rare event where folks shoot
film - at least for the major press.
