This month's issue of National Geographic has the very first article that is totally digital from the planning stages on. The rest are still film based.

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.
