You cannot do commercial film i.e. movies, industrial training, porn etc, entirely on electronic media. The installed base of movie houses is large. Movie going is a growing industry. Most of Kodak's silver goes towards this roll film industry. And 90% of that silver is recycled from old stock. The person who proved that silver beats videotaping was Lucille Ball who insisted that 3 35 mill cameras shoot "I love Lucy". The improved quality was apparent to the audience and the production values of ILL contributed to its successs. Today everyone who can afford it uses multiple film cameras. Hollywood is still 35 mil. Videotape just cannot do the big screen and the backdrops in any convincing way. Advanced editing is much harder in videotape too. In order to duplicate film's quality on 35 mm you would need more than 1 billion pixels. That is how fine grained silver is. It can be blown up to microscopic level. Hell, 35 mill can be blown to 25 feet! Try that with your LCD camera. And no no jaggies either. Professional quality cameras that a newspaper photographer would use, still cost 8,000 dollars for electronic media. EC<:-}
