In his latest mailing, David Cardinal, the editor of DigitalPro Shooter, makes the statement that Digital SLRs are less reliable than Film.
Have any of the heavier shooters on this list found this?
I don't shoot digital personally, but at least once a week I get an e-mail from someone who shot all day with his large-capacity gig+ card only to get home and find there was nothing to download and frantic efforts with data recovery software weren't proving profitable.
The worst thing that ever happened to _me_ with film was mis-loading a roll of 35mm and realizing that I had to have gone past 36. Fortunately a football game has four quarters and learning to check the rewind knob periodically meant that was a one-time error.
On the other hand, I'd guess a stick shift is more reliable than an automatic transmission since it has fewer moving parts and simpler design, but when was the last time your auto transmission failed? So, what does <less reliable> really mean, and is the incidence statistically significant?
