For sure, Annie uses digital.  Like us, depends on the shoot.

Also, in the sound track, I hear her mutter, "...so I had to use 
digital..." - or words to that effect.  Seemed to have something to do 
with shooting conditions.

  A few days ago PBS ran a documentary on AL as part of the American 
Masters series. My impression is that she's a 'method' photographer. 
This is, she becomes part of the scene. That worked very well in the 
60's when she documented the youth revolt set off by the Vietnam War 
and middle class verities. She jumped out of the counterculture mags 
and now she does fancy magazine ad work and portraits of celebrities, 
mostly in studios. She hangs around with Tina Brown who's enthusiastic 
about her ideas. The documentary showed her using Leica M's and Nikon 
SLRs, but not digitals. Unless I missed them among the fast scene 
changes.
