I agree entirely.  Digital is particularly suited for photojournalism and
commercial work, but it would be foolish to advise photographers to limit
themselves to it.  Cameras are a photographer's cash register, and the more
the better.  It is better to keep a full arsenal, because cameras are cheap
compared with what they earn.  Look at what any camera can make over a
period of a year, or ten.  If your digital breaks (twice so far this year
with my Nikon, they are very fragile) you might be very happy to pull out an
all-mechanical camera backup and be back in business is a matter of seconds.
