I guess this comment is meant to be funny or a joke.Digital is a passing fad.

There was a point when reading had not been widespread that people used mnemonic devices to memorize things. They did not "need" reading to learn but, boy-howdy, reading sure improved the learning experience.
Back in my undergrad days we spent countless hours in the stacks doing book-related research for papers. Card catalogues, micro-fiche, scouring aisles and floors for books and references. We didn't need no stinkin' computers. However, their use makes this much less time-consuming. This shortens the feedback loop, and therefore, the learning loop. Why would one not use it?

Yes!How ridiculous. I shoot film up to 4x5 and digital. There are plenty of others that shoot both. Denigrating digital is childish. Photography should be a big tent.
My Nikon D200 (bought in 2005) is working just fine as is my Nikon D800. Both cameras have had tens of thousands exposures each.[/QUOTE][QUOTE
I guess photographers will buy a Nikon z7 when their D800 dies in the next year or two (or a bit longer). When I was in high school photography wasn't too expensive for me because I used an at that time 20 year old camera and lens (the sensor was replaced frequently!). I don't think that there are too many 20 year Nikon D1 cameras handed down today to novice photographers.

Perhaps because in many cases the computer search tools rely more on tags and summations and interpretations as much then they do on the actual content of the items searched.
It takes a really informed appreciation of how computer searches work to understand their strengths and limitations.
The same concerns apply to non-computer based tools. But somehow the computer based tools are more enticing.
To pick a good but extremely arcane example, I'd suggest trying to deduce the impact of Bell v. Lever Brothers from the headnote.
Spoiler alert - you can deduce almost anything from Bell v. Lever Brothers.
You're kidding? It is a favorite sport around APUG, now Photrio.

I really didn't mean anyone to read Bell v. Lever Bros! You have my utmost apologies.I read the Bell v. Lever Bros and do not know how it relates to our discussion. Sometimes I am dense. Can anyone help me see its applicability?
No, but we will make you learn Law French.Crap! Damn! Damn! Damn! Now I have to learn English law and English Common Law too! What will be next? Having to learn French law, where one is guilty until proven innocent? I hope I never get arrested in Louisiana!
Some do, some don't.Also when we shoot with film we stand out and look "different" from all the other photographers. And maybe feel superior?
No, but we will make you learn Law French.
At least if you ever want to be a cestui que trust.
Anyone want to guess how to pronounce cestui que trust ?![]()
I don't think most people left film photography because ""they believed in the "film is dead" propaganda"", they moved on to new and better technology!
... and more commercially viable.No they didn't. They moved on because it was CHEAPER. EASIER. MORE CONVENIENT. Better in some regards, but not all.
Hang on to it: it may become collectable.That tears it, I'm selling my film gear!![]()
Hmmm, cheaper, easier, more convenient. Sounds better to me. Plus, better quality (especially in high ISOs),No they didn't. They moved on because it was CHEAPER. EASIER. MORE CONVENIENT. Better in some regards, but not all.

Digital images are synthesized by algorithms from the wonky output of a sensor. Then converted to formats like jpeg resulting in reduced dynamic range and tonality. Does not sound or look better to me at all. More convenient, yes. But not at all better quality.
The reason to shoot film is because you want to. The constant "digital is crap and film superior" on this forum gets old.
