What kind of photography is still better done with film cameras?
Other than the love of the style, are there any solid reasons to use a film camera over a digital camera? Are there any fundamental flaws in the architecture of digital cameras that make them inferior to film cameras?
Answer
What is your definition of better?
I used to love being in the darkroom. It's a unique experience and very creative. It's wet, smelly, dark, solitary and mind expanding. While I have all the equipment, I haven't used it in decades, the digital stuff reaches the same goals and close to the same results. But it's not the same.
I don't believe that there are any digital cameras that can compete with an 8x10 film camera. I know that until recently, Playboy shot the centerfold on an 8x10 film. But folks with huge view cameras are rare, and it's not clear that the hassle and expense is really justified. I bet most of them do it for fun and tradition.
