depends what you are doing...
We produce an online magazine with thousands of photos from auto shows, and digital beats film in every respect that matters..
- faster (online within hours, with only a batch process to resize, sharpen, and add tags, no color correction)
- cheaper (no consumables)
- ability to immediately review and reshoot where necessary
- better quality than film (color balance, wider contrast range, less noise)
- films potential higher resolution of no use since we only provide up to 1600x1200 on the site. (we shoot at 2560x1920)and film is so 19th century.... really, it was just a stop-gap until they developed digital, which has yet to fully mature... they'll be simulating the 'character' qualities of those Hasselblads in a few years... all I'm waiting for is ISO 10000-equivalent sensors for low-light work, and faster response times.
