I thought I'd chime in on this one. I just joined a local club in January.
Evidently, until this year they used a digital projector, a 35mm slide projector and a third projector for two-and-a-quarter square format slides. This is was in addition to prints. This year the fellow that runs the projector decided that he would scan the 35mm slides and just bring the digital projector. However, the 35mm slides and digital entries were judged separately. The 2-1/4 entries were also scanned and judged separately but there were only enough entries to show them on two nights. At the end of this year they made some changes. The 2-1/4 format was dropped for lack of entries. The 35mm and digital stuff will be judged together but there are categories for photoshopped and non-photoshopped stuff. No one seems to mind. The projector format is 1024x768 and it seems to be just fine. Prints will continue to be judged separately, but the numbers are dwindling. At the recent end-of-year banquet they put on a multi-media show with everything being projected in it's native format. Frankly, the digital projector put the regular slide projectors to shame. I'm in my mid-fifties and seem to be one of the younger members of the group. Much as the members of this list have varying opinions, the club members have diverse opinions on digital. There are several die-hard film fans. There seems to be room for everyone's opinons. The club just bought a laptop computer to drive the projector so they don't have to depend on members volunteering equipment.
