Van,You structured not correct question. I mean: this question can be asked but then you have to specify the application of “your photographyâ€. Photography is a huge world and there are of thousands of circumstances why the certain techniques or methodology should be used.
Generally, for whatever application the common “photography consumer†can be exposed, today the digital is better or will be better within the very short period of time. Some specific requirement the digital still can’t handle and probable will not handle but it is very small percentage of the consumers and they will be disregarded by mainstream.
I'm familiar with the best analog and digital results and being “one of those analog guys†I vote for digital. Not because it is “better†(most of the time it dose) but because the part that make analog better has not a lot of to do with a technology as a process but more with human/machine interaction as a notion. Besides there is a very important moment: culture of a product. Unfortunately the contemporary "products" (deliveries) have no inner-culture. (It just happened that the photography is digital currently but the key word is not “digital†but “currentlyâ€) However this is applicable not only with the cameras but with music, audio, visual art, and etc.
