I would bet the only reason Arizona Highways doesn't use digital images is
because they don't understand how to use them.

The last paragraph of that article is based on total ignorance (below).

"One last thought on the film vs. digital debate: If you’re planning to
switch to a digital camera soon, don’t give up on film just yet. Remember
always to back up your digital photographs on film. Even if you have already
made the move to digital, consider that today’s best cameras record digital
files at a little more than 11 megapixels. But what if, in the near future,
the standard moves up to 20 megapixels or higher? If you have backup on
film, you can scan your images at a higher resolution. But will your old
11-megapixel files be convertible? We don’t know for sure."
