A photograph is an image produced by reflected light off of some object focused through a lens onto a light sensitive material.
As such a digital image produced in such a manner is indeed a photograph. There have been many different media used to make photographs over the years, digital is just another in a long list. Every time there is a change there is also an argument over whether the new media is really a photograph. If we keep the above definition in mind there really is no question whether or not the new media is photographic or not. Now a digital image may or may not be a photograph. I would say that a digital photograph is a subset of digital imaging. In other words it is only a photograph if it is produced from light reflected off of a real object through a lens (a pin-hole has to be considered a type of lens for this discussion, otherwise I know some smart-ass will bring it up).

Perhaps a "Digital > Image" would be more appropriate!
