Alright, fair enough. But I do take issue with the words "it will always...". That's just not true. The technology is volatile enough that there's no way to know its characteristics in say ten years. Who knows what type of sensor they will have perfected by then.
An example would be my old professor, Terry. He grew up as a cinematographer and film user. In freshman year, I remember a rant he gave where he passionately explained to us students that "There's no way that digital will approach the quality of film" and "When a photographer wants good quality, he will always choose film over digital". Fast forward and just last year he bought his first DSLR, a 40D.
I don't mean this post to be a "Ha, so there!" kind of statement. My point is simply that absolute statements about technology in the context of future capabilities are most times unwise.
