> ... why can't they go back to FILM cameras ...

Silver halide photography is nearly dead.
Before long, it will be used only by darkroom
nostalgics, along with daguerreotype.

Plus, negs have zero meta-data to bolster their
authenticity. A digital image from a secure
camera is much more credible than a neg.

Shoot your base scene with a 20Mp DSLR, edit
in Photoshop, print at high-res, re-shoot on
Ektachrome 400, and yer good to go.

The recent scandal was not really about technology
anyway. Some of those frauds were so blatent that
the only explanations are:
- massive editorial incompetence at Reuters
- massive agenda-driven corruption at Reuters

... well, maybe both.

Don't no about 'Silver Halide is nearly dead'. I use both and until somebody comes up with the quality of my Leica Ms and lenses in digital I will continue doing so as I suspect most people with Leica's will. And if you say what about the new digital M? I bet because of the compromises like still having to use retro focus wide angle lens designs and a limited pixel count it will be worse than an equivalent 35mm film Leica. Ok so in news, sport etc and photojournalism its 'convienient'But when I go out to take a picture I take My MP and a couple of lenses in my pockets
