I believe this issue needs additional clarification from the Photo Industrial Complex… is the damage a result of cumulative exposures? are specific sensors more prone to gamma rays, CCD or CMOS? and at what point can software no longer “fix” dead pixels?… I don’t know the answer as of now (stay tuned) but I am glad that my trip to Italy on Sunday is all film!!
And for the crazy conspiracy theory readers out there: don’t forget that Kodak invented much of the digital technology used today and makes sensors for many camera makers to include Leica and the DOD… so this is not some PR push to sell more film.

PS- lots of good info covered in this video!!

I just watched this a couple days ago. Very interesting stuff and yes there is a lot of good info in this video.
great post! although close to the end he says “film is gone”… hope he was just being sarcastic!
There is very comprehensive scientific basis for the claims of gamma ray damage to CCD and CMOS sensors:

If you mean that the industry should come clean about the dangers, perhaps you should write to your elected representative.
