The public is fickle in its demands. When digital was expensive only
pros, serious amateurs, and rich people had digital cameras at that was
what people thought was supposed to be used. Now they have a digital
camera built into their cel-phone, you can buy one at Wal-Mart for under
$20 there is no mystique to them anymore. But...

On the contrary, I am finding myself quite a niche market with film.
New customers are looking for archival quality and finding that digital

I am increasingly being asked for weddings (urgh, weddings) and portraiture in
film.
Black and white portraits are in demand here. I am unsure if this is due to an
increase in demand for film or just because I have not delved until now.
Anyhow, to settle the debate, film is better.
