It really depends upon what you're doing. Does your son make 30x40 inch prints on his Epson from his G3? Does your son shoot architectural photos with his EOS10D? Probably "No" to both of those questions.

It's applying the appropriate tool to the job. If Sunset accepts digital files - that's great. The pubs I work with still want transparencies because they prefer to scan the work themselves as they screen it directly from the film as part of the scanning process - and for several other reasons.

For a lot of commercial work, the fine photographic print has, in fact, gone the way of dinosaurs. But, if you haven't seen a really big LightJet print from a medium or large format transparency - well, let's just say the 10D (nice camera) just doesn't match up (in my opinion).

I still use a darkroom for black and white work because I have more control over the final outcome with image "look" (combination of paper, developer, toning, etc.) than what I've seen available through digital manipulation and digital printer output.
