film/digital blah blah blah
my book has been shot on 10x8 5x4 6x6 12.5/16/22/30/39 mpixel cameras, they all print perfectly at A3 and you can't tell the what has been shot on what camera.
all this theorising is just armchair waffle
i don't know any photographer who still shoots film (advertising/design). the main reason is because of time and money. no more huddling round a polaroid, the client and photographer can see the results immediately on screen, no 2 hr wait for a film test and no waiting to strike a set because you haven't got the film back from the lab, it's more productive and is easier if you are shooting complex comps and/or have to put a quick comp together for a client, the days of cutting up polaroids to see if stuff fits together are over (TFFT)
and as for the film industry they run a digital workflow for editing/grading, do you really think they sit at a steinbeck editing desk with reels of film and sellotape? no it's all done digitally.
and as for shooting on film? check out the Red camera http://www.red.com/ that is the future of shooting movies.
