There are of course different kinds of professionals, I like to think that real art is still made with a film camera.
real art is made by the photographer, not the meduim.
or do you believe that water colors are not real art either?
There is even a group that think real art is made by photoshop, and that individual pictures are simply the new paints for the digital era.
Back to the OP's post. FIlm will remain for some time more, it is still a gppd meduim to teach the basics, and they do make some very good films today. In fact, if digital came out with its present quality 25 years ago, with film where it was then, film would have died out even faster.
