Even though I too am a dinosaur, we can't buck the tide forever. It is an interesting theory though; A wedding photog shoots his wedding, downloads the card and via wireless internet sends the raw files to his lab which does the photoshop work and returns the files along with the proper profiles to print the pics. Kinda Buck Rogersey but considering what I was saying just a year ago regarding digital and the advances they've made in a year it might not be that far off

That is interesting to hear how this digital/film debate is settling out at least in regards to wedding photographers. What it sounds like is a real business opportunity for some enterprising soul to set up a service business to do the back end of their digital business so they can just concentrate on shooting.... the way a good trusted lab can support a film shooter. Don't know if this would work but it might be a whole new industry. Since I just shoot for fun at this point, and mostly B&W, I too am a happy film dinosaur... S

I am told, by several knowledgeable sources, that in Vancouver, Canada, the
switch by wedding photogs back to film is now virtually 100%. Simply put,
they can send the film to the lab and go out and shoot another
wedding.  Film, for them, is more cost effective.

For those pros doing work where speed is of the essence, or the few doing
photo murals where digital is easier to stitch together, fine.  But for
many pros, digital has proved a financial disaster.
