explored film versus digital from the point of view of the film makers. There was a wide disparity. Some absolutely love the digital technology and believe it leads to a better film, for various reasons, including the ability to film for long periods without changing film canisters and the ability to see what has been shot without a night development delay. And there were others who just feel that film has better dynamic range and a better look. Even the film enthusiasts say that recent generations of digital cameras have gotten much better. But it's a pretty balanced view- no easy conclusion that one is "better" than the other.
