I do, and don't see anything wrong with admitting it. I do it because the quality of the image, in terms of sharpness, tonal range and highlight detail is generally subpar. I don't agree that only compositional skill is important.

One thing I see they could do quite easily, is if you are going to do a DSLR listing, then list 35mm cameras as well. Just this week I ran into a photo enthuasist, who when he saw my F6 asked what it was. When I told him, and told him it was new, he remarked he didn't even know film cameras were still being made. So, if film is part of the magazines audience, then film cameras also need to be part of it as well.
