Why do some photographers say that digital photography is inferior?
There are a number of reasons that photographers may say this. Up until recently, the qualities of digital photography were considerably worse that its film counterpart. The technology is moving so rapidly that only recently have the quality differences between film and digital become transparent. Some photographers may be reluctant to give up film because it has been their way of shooting for many years. So, in defense of not shooting digitally, they just write it off as inferior. Working with digital files also requires a strong knowledge of computers. There are some photographers who do not possess these skills. There is nothing wrong with photographers that still use film. I think, though, that since the quality of digital is just as impressive as the quality of film that there is no reason not to have the luxuries of a more convenient and efficient way of shooting photos.
