Would a company depending on images entrust a Hasselblad 24mp in the hands of a hack or a photographer?  I suspect photographer is the answer.

Unfortunately, the commentator who is a film purist has missed a lot of what is here now. I have and once in a while shoot film..but it is always back to digital for what I really want to do.  Convenience is one reason and the digital darkroom is a large part of it.  Still, the original determines the overall value of the shot in the first place, whether straight from camera or improved as it should be in software.

Some of us record events, some produce art, some do both and sometimes both at the same time.  Whether digital or film, what is the difference?   If the end result looks like it should for the purpose it serves, the goal is accomplished.
