The ability to make unlimted "perfect" copies of a
photo is a plus for digital. However, the idea that
people will be able to quickly and easily copy photos
from one medium to another has not worked out in
reality. The time and effort to keep track of where
the photos are stored, copy them and so on proves to
be too much work for most people. IMHO, the best
method is to shoot film, make high quality digital
scans and then store the film in one safe place, a
copy of the scans in another (different location) safe
place, and another copy of the scans for day to day
work.
Recently, a friend tried to recall a copy of an
article he had written 10+ years ago on his Kaypro
computers. Not only did he not have a suitable disk
drive to read his 5.25 disk, he did not have the
softeare to read the file. What a mess! On the other
hand the black and white negatives that he used to
illustrate the article were perfectly and easily
usable.
