Interesting to speculate on how the 54% do digital photography when only 40% own a digital camera.
What makes you think only 40% own a digital camera? 40% own a *DSLR*!!!! Many more than that own digicams.

Actually, I bet it's a fair sample of serious amateurs. Many serious amateurs in the US spend enough money on their gear to include a DSLR, if they want one.
Yep. If anything, it's skewed towards film users because those who've sold off all their film gear couldn't participate. In fact, Michael Reichmann has told me he's seeing more and more people at his workshops who have *never* owned a film camera in their lives. (He noticed this after explaining things using film photography analogies and getting blank stares in return. <g>)
Some more tidbits: 104 people (out of about 160 present) completed the survey for us.
46% were first-timers at GFM. 12.5% have never used a digital camera. 40% own a DSLR. 32.7% very much want a digital contest next year. 19.2% very much *don't* want a digital contest next year. 54% do half or more of their photography in digital now. 15.4% do virtually all of their photography in digital now.
