All the digicams I have seen have far less *usable* stop range than
film. 160 Film has about 8 stops and CCDs have half that. On shots
with high contrast (sunlight & shadow), the distortion (what they call
"pixel blooming") is downright ugly. Also low light noise is ugly too
during long exposures. I use analog film for these shots. Something to
be aware of. If the picture is to be low contrast then digital is great.
