It's comparable to the resurgence of interest in vinyl records. The only worthy attraction is in the sheer retro-ness of it. It certainly isn't in the quality;
This is just dumb dumb dumb. The thing about analog sound devices have always been that they sound warm and pleasant under most settings. Of course, digital can be as good and better but the problem with digital gear has always has been there are many many settings in which it sounds horrible and only small zones where it sounds amazing.
Musicians still use a lot of analog gear and eschew digital as being a massive PITA to get right. With analog gear, you plug it in and it produces wonderful sounds. You move a few knobs around and you're done. With digital, you tweak and tweak and tweak.
Up until the current generation of DSLRs, I always felt that I wasn't *quite* there. But today, I literally have no reason to look back. I have to hand it to Canon, Nikon, etc... they've done a great job. Between the quality obtainable, the ability to go out and shoot a thousand *good* images without changing "film", the incredible range of usable ISO (sensitivity to light), in-camera preview -- and disposal -- so you actually know what you have while you're still on-site and able to try again, to readily available histograms and after-the-fact white balance... and then "developing" with Aperture or Lightroom... I'll take a DSLR every time.
I am not a huge photographer but this is my experience from all the photographs I have taken.
DLSRs can produce great images but there are so many times it produces cold, lifeless images. You can take hundreds of images and choose the best.
When I used film, a cheapo camera produced more brilliant pictures per shots. Yeah, you have to wait and have them developed but in every reel there were always some amazing shots. Now, with DLSR there are thousands of lifeless images and you edit them and enhance them until they are good. There is just so much rubbish and then a good one among them.
Maybe it speaks to my skill as a photographer but there are some film shots that are absolutely perfect to me - like something out of a magazine. I have perhaps 100 times more digital images but most are horrible and only a few that are amazing mostly because of the composition and I would probably have to set up a professional lighting to achieve that perfect shot I got a few times with film.
