I don't know that most people understand this issue until they actually own a DSLR. I think people who have no experience with a good dslr don't buy the "lack of grain makes up for lack of resolution" argument. But, it's probably one reason among several, and it's one of the bigger reason's I actually starting using digital for work. (I hadn't planned to use it for weddings when I bought it.) The fact that any of your shots can be color or b/w is a big one, as is the control you have over your proof sets, the ability to shoot as much as you want, reduced lab fees, easy online proofing.... tv
