The new results are now in. Doing and "Exact" search on ""Digital Photography" vs. "Film Photography", the numbers reflect much more clearly the reality of the situation - Digital with 21,500,000 hits (96%) vs. Film Photography with 819,000 hits (4%) and that is still with the hundred year head start. Our poll on the left is showing about the same result with a 97% vs 3% split when I combine Digital with Mostly Digital and Film with Mostly Film categories.BUT!
Last week, just for fun, I published my Google search results for "Digital Photography" vs. "Film Photography". The numbers came up kind of close - 81,100,000 vs. 97,800,000. It was on the way home last night from a football game that I realized the errors of my way - It's how Google searches. When I searched "Digital Photography" it added all the "Digital" listings and then all the "Photography" listings and gave me the final result. It did the same for the "Film Photography" search - hence "Photography" was captured in both searches pretty much equalizing out the numbers.
So in conclusion, I beg your forgiveness for my near-sighted, myopic flawed original posting but, nevertheless, I want to reap your praises for my new corrected results, which, by the way I am having notarized in the morning :~)

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI love the blog! Quite fun, and I always learn a ton:)
With the survey, the poll on your site is having the exact inverse result as the Kodak survey. Presumably Kodak asked all their propass customers whether they used film or digital - by default, someone on the Kodak site, taking a Kodak is much more likely to be a film user. Your blog is the exact opposite - why is a film-only photographer going to be spending time on the computer, much less reading a blog dedicated to digital photography?
Just wanted to point that out - thanks for all you do!!!!
