This comment from the following article actually makes sense...

The idea that "digital is better than film" is naive, and fails to recognize the parallels between chemical sensing and our own biological processes that are now just being understood. The quantum effects of film are much closer to the most advanced ideas in computing than PCs, microprocessors, and current electronic communications.
