After many years in the darkroom I do a lot of stuff in units of cc.
In most other ways, it's not an issue. A 20D does things a Leica
doesn't, and vice versa. A Sinar 8x10 does things a Minox doesn't,
etc.
Use what you can accept and gets you what you like or need.
I like my digitals, I like my film cameras. It's not an either/or
situation except on a given day and dependant on my load carrying
capacity/willingness.
I haven't gotten a Canon 1D type camera, because I would be reluctant
to haul it around. If I don't haul it around, it's useless as a
camera. On the other hand, I often go out with 3 cameras and 10
lenses. In my universe, that's reasonable and a 1D body isn't. So
what.
