True. But I would modify that to say that slide shooters might be more comfortable shooting tiff or jpeg in a digital camera than would someone who is used to having the intermediate control of a negative. That being said, there's no advantage to shooting digital tiff or jpeg, other than convenience, while slides to offer the advantage of a color record that is at least as accurate as the film and generally reduced grain.
