Shoot on a card, email it within seconds, and the magazine or newspaper have their front page. But, unless someone can proove that the digital image I capture on a cheap P&S or a pro D1x will last as long as a b&w negative(and some negatives or plates have lasted 100 years or more), I'll stick with getting my hands wet on some fiber base paper. Anyone can get a 1950's Leitz Focomat as use it for many years to come, but you have to keep upgrading a computer or printer to continue to use it. Mo' money, mo' money. Companies have already shown that a image on a CD may only last 10 years. My opinion anyway.
