If I were a news or sports photographer (which I once was), I
would have gone digital three or more years ago.
If I were for hire, shooting weddings, portraits, general
commercial stuff, I would either have gone digital last year or
would be doing so now.
Since I fit neither category, I'm happy as a clam with film and my
pretty extensive and comprehensive collection of Olympuses (or is
it Olympi?) and Zuikos, etc., etc.
I think many who are not professionals and who are so gung ho
digital and abandoning film in such a rush are as much (or more)
gadget geeks as photographers. Of course, there obviously is
nothing wrong with being addicted to gadgets, since I am too, and
I am as close to perfection in every way as any human can ever
hope to be. :-) I'm just not ready to make a serious investment
in digital yet. Today's miracle machine will soon be tomorrow's
8088 PC.
And I really don't want to talk about it anymore.

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting
to me, because, as we know, there are known knowns; there are
things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns;
that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But
there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't
know." -- Donald Rumsfeld
