Mark was right, it did take me less than a week to talk on that topic again but I found the following bit of news quite interesting…

The study also notes that there are over 131,000 professional photographers in North America, and that they spend nearly US$800 million a year on “cameras, lenses, printers, ink and media, software, and other accessories

Wow a massive 20% jump in usage in the next 4 years, whoooooo.
Research and study shows that Chris Garret will fill up his Digital photography blog with articles about film
.. To 90%.
Who was it who said “Digital simply can’t meet the image quality required for pros”?
70% of pros disagree with you ;O)
ok, last one – really!
You will actually find that pros dont take such a blinkered approach to what is best and actually use both mediums. A pro means anyone who takes photographs for money, doesn’t mean the actual photographs are any good. The argument remains the same, when someone needs a large print at the best quality (presently), they will use film. Landscapers still use fuji velvia.
Oh yeah and by the way, by the year 2010 we will all have cars capable of flying and live solely from food pills……….
