Picked up a book recently and I'm finding it very interesting and
affecting to my photography, although it is not a book about
photography ...

I see quite a point in shooting on film and have it later scanned.
Though recently Luminous Landscape keep praising latest Canon 11 MP
camera up to the point of mentioning that it has virtually no noise at
virtually all ISO settings.

Boris,
You worry too much about progress. Digital Cams have a LOT of problems.
Tried them, don't like them. Most are still toys.
Give it 5 years, ok? Grin.

In my personal humble opinion the question of fate of film is more of

Hi Boris,
Sorry to cut your well presented argument short but it could be as simple as
the introduction of governmental EPA
This is an interesting argument. In addition, you could easily conceive
of airport security making film impractical for travel. Although they
will have to make some accommodation for electronic storage devices
these days, I could easily see them saying this will damage film -

I always bracket if I'm using slide film. With print -- colour or b/w, I
don't.

Hi, Feroze,
I think that film will end up being analogous (no pun intended) to vinyl records

vinyl about 10 years. And, for a while it was damn hard to find vinyl at the

with 64 billion ps cameras of various breeds floating around the
cosmos, which company do you think is going to be the first to
discontinue film? I can't see Eastman Kodak volunteering, and they are
into digital as much as anyone. It's just another market sector to milk.
Smart companies
My belief is that digital is definitely the future but that the future
isn't quite here yet (at least for me).

In weddings and portraits, you are talking a much bigger volume of
keepers (not because technically they are all superb shots, but
because they record an event) that have to be dealt with.
i shot a wedding for a friend as the backup photographer
You may very well be right. As I don't have a digital camera that I
would consider using for a wedding, I haven't submitted to them any
real quantities. Coupled with that, my Coolpix exhibits many of the
weaknesses of the average PS (weak flash, heavy redeye, slow AF,
etc).
