80% of Pro Photographers Own Digital SLRs
I'm surprised it's only 80% - OK, sure, there are many reasons to prefer film - but I'd have expected any professional in the field to have picked up a digital by now, and been getting familiar with the technology.
Some other interesting points:
Survey results show that professional photographers across all specialties are taking a large number of shots - 482 per week on average for digital camera users.
I feel like a slacker - I'm hitting about 200 a week. Of course, I'm not full time professional either...
"Photographers are placing the highest priority on generating new business, creating a more efficient workflow, and using the Web for marketing and sales," said Jeff Hayes, a Group Director at InfoTrends/CAP Ventures. "Not surprisingly, when we turn to issues related to digital photo editing and the publishing process, their primary challenges seem to center upon workflow time, color management, and photo management."
This fits pretty closely with me - building a suitably non-intrusive and lossless workflow is an ongoing concern - this is one of the reasons that Apple's new aperture software is of such interest to me.
