Even electronic cameras have an initial analogue process that is then digitised. The first tv cameras were analogue systems that captured their image to analogue magnetic tape.

I don�t believe that we 'analog people� capture anything. I was raised as a maker and taker, and �capruing� an image didn�t come along until political correctness came along.

All this says is that digital capture and analog capture may have different results, but I've never seen a comparison of the same scene between the two methods created by the same (expert) person.  I'll bet such a comparison even then will not settle the question.

Most of the arguments are made by devout believers of one system or the other. . . after all, why should they change their opinion?

while great images can be made on both there are very distinguishable visual difference between film and digital.    Digital will always capture in a linear fashion and thus high lights and shadows will always have a different feel then a photo chemical process.   While shadow quality might improve over the next decade.  Hight lights in Digital will be an issue for a while.   HDRI capture can get them but they for sure don't feel like film.

analog shmanalog... a great image is a great image. 

Jan you have some great images and the process you chose to make them is interesting but secondary.

Great pics are made by photographers not cameras. Nobody asks the restaurant manager what kind of stove the chef uses... 

If I find digital more inspiring than film, then who's to argue with that? And Vice versa. The process that the artist used is as interesting as it contributed to the art.
