<<Technical semantics. There is a very clear and accepted distinction between film and digital cameras. >> Accepted and clear are different things. Sensors discribed as "digital" are misleading: they are analogue the pixels created by the giga-pixel thingy are just as digital as those from a "digital" camera. Once digitised they are numbers: real information has been discarded to arrive at the digital approximation ... what if polaroid brought out a camera with a built-in scanner which took a PHOTO, scanned it, ashed the original print (to CO2) then saved the scan to TIFF. Would that be correctly described as digital?
