What is happening is no different (well much faster) than the transition from artists work to full plate to quarter plate to medium format to miniature format to digital in displaying the world to people who were not in that place and time. On another forum they were talking about using Super-8 film for fun and profit. Think about it, what is there to worry about 35mm film if you can still buy and process Super-8 film twenty years after consumer video took over? Like most things in life, it is all about choices, hopefully informed choices, but you make a choice by not choosing. Enjoy the world around you and record it to the best of your talent.

I'm curious to see if anyone will, with digital, match the work done by masters of the past.
