There is a poll of the week at FocalPress.com asking whether visitors to the site use film or digital photography, or both. Right now, the percentage using only film doesn't look very healthy, although the percentage using both looks much better. In any case, you all know what to do:

I forgot to mention that the poll is in the lower right corner of the page.

I think the poll looks pretty good--40% of respondents use film.

What the poll doesn't tell us is whether they use both but prefer film, when they have the choice.

It is also not clear whether you should answer "both" for using what we would call "hybrid" techniques like scanning film and printing digitally. But it does seem to indicate that digital does not completely eclipse film, even for digital users.
