David,
If you have seen a commercial, sports, Olympic, or journalistic image
that riveted your eyes in the last three years, it was probably a
digital capture.

What is happening is no different (well much faster) than the transition
from artists work to full plate to quarter plate to medium format to
miniature format to digital in displaying the world to people who were
not in that place and time.

On another forum they were talking about using Super-8 film for fun and
profit.  Think about it, what is there to worry about 35mm film if you
can still buy and process Super-8 film twenty years after consumer video
took over?  Like most things in life, it is all about choices, hopefully
informed choices, but you make a choice by not choosing.

Enjoy the world around you and record it to the best of your talent.

Was film was just a crutch that allowed photographers to limp through
the 
20th Century until the invention of digital photography? I'm curious to
see 
if anyone will, with digital, match the work done by masters of the
past. 
Has it happened yet?
