I can make a precision adhesive filmholder out an an ordinary holder for about 50 cents and untie that hand behind the back. It's not a matter of who won - that's obvious - but in which round, and why.
Film still does what I like and digital still does what I don't like to an image the closer you look.
I just hope the remanants of the Ottoman Empire of Kodak survives the present financial upheaval. For me, it's film or nothing; and Kodak's selection would be hard to replace. But whatever happens, happens.
I agree with this sentiment, Until these new cameras with huge potential come down in price that comparable to a 4 x 5 equivalent or 8 x 10 equivalent film camera, I see absolutely no reason for the hobbyist or ameture like myself to buy one of these... But if I was
working as a professional photographer today , I think these systems become critical and worthy of consideration as a business expense. I purchased a Lambda to stay in the printing game over 15 years ago, at the time it was imperative.
Bob and Don J thanks for being fun. I'm in the process of moving and THIS was what the doctor ordered. Many thanks.

Studio assembly-line product, catalog, or food photography almost mandates the switch. For someone like me, simply trying to bag a very limited number of shots truly worthy of printing, it's another story. If I were still dabbling in commercial architectural photography too, I dunno. Everything commercial now has a "want it yesterday" clientele. But with instant digital feedback, I've seen em constantly peering over the shoulders of the photographer like a vulture, micro-managing them. That would drive me crazy.
