Bob, You are absolutely right. Digital can trade one set of problems for another. Using digital, one does not have to worry about incorrect camera settings (easy to see and correct on the spot), lack of film, opening the camera back while changing film, and many other things. OTOH, a card can die (can you say micordrive?). So you learn. Pretty soon, you take two bodies, two flashes, use multiple smaller CF cards (splits the frames over more hardware), your cell phone and your PDA to assignments (in case your editor got the assignment wrong), and especially several sets of extra batteries for all of the above. You back up all your files to the hard drive _and_ CD as soon as you end the shoot. Now, you're getting closer to getting the shot EVERY time!
