Ed,

I recall you saying that many pros were using Sony DSLRs, with
full-frame (24 Mpix) sensors. This would be the moral equivalent of
35mm Kodachrome.

What are the pros using to replace 2-1/4 by 2-1/4 (Hassy), 4x5, 8x10,
and so on up?

I'd hazard that digital may be approaching 2.25x2.25, but the larger
negatives are still out of reach.

Thanks,

They are still using film as a matter of fact.
While the consumer end of the trade has been shifting over to
digital..the professional side still shoots film in many of its
aspects. Copious amounts in fact.

That guy is confused.

That guy is one of the preemenent experts on the subject.

commerical photography is done digitally these day. Yeah, some people may
use film every now and then, but that's not how the majority of product
type photos are taken.

Most commercial photograph is.but hardly Most.

Computer operated cameras and platforms that spin the product (product
photography) around and take photos automatically are not science fiction
anymore.

Yes?

Real estate photos? somebody with a digital camera.

Newspapers, flyers etc etc..ayup..all digital. Art, detail large
format photos...film

Id not be downplaying Mr Rockwells words.
