IMHO your quite right Paul, I've heard it all before, vinyl vs CD, Moving coil vs moving magnet phono cartridges, there will always be a few people who believe the old media is better. The only annoying thing about digital is the high cost, but as Mig pointed out the ongoing costs are minimal. There is one area where film still rules and that's large format. I know of one operator with a large format (landscape) film camera that is used to produce images for printing and subsequent sale. He does however scan the film for processing and printout. One thing that annoys the hell out of me is that our current version DSLR's are going to become obsolete very rapidly and for that reason I am very reluctant to spend serious money on quality lenses...
