I just read through all this thread and am of the school that one can see the differences between images recorded on film and those on digital more often than not look different - at least to those of us who have been shooting film for (in my case) 40 years. There are things about digital I like, but there are certainly obstacles to overcome using a digital camera. The very worst of it is shutter lag and moir�. There is often something very sterile about a really grainless super sharp image that brings an unreal quality to a digitally shot photo. Though not always, and the technology keeps getting better. But I was ,with one exception, able to tell the digital shots from the film shots that Cotty presented to those of us who went to GFM (The photo meet in North Carolina) last year. As BIll Robb said (I paraphrase) there is something about them. I only got myself a digital camera to save money and time - I like it more than I thought I would, and I don't even have a high end job. But I find it difficult to work with because there are too many options and I haven't been able to get them in my memory bank. I think the strongest images are those that speak to you so clearly you don't for a minute think about the technique that was used to create it. If the first thing that pops in to your head when you look at a photo is whether it is film or digital, then the photo probably isn't worth thinking too long about :) annsan the discombobulated and opinionated p.s.
