I work in medium format, 35mm or digital  dependant on my clients specific requests and the assignment.
When quality or large reproduction is required  medium format is the answer. I use the "ideal format" Pentax 67. 
For spontaneity and  fast action my 35mm Nikon film gear is ideal .
Direct  to digital I use Nikon 6 mega pixel+ digital  cameras. Its ideal  for quick turnaround or where workflow from camera to final presentation is all digital. Cost is unfortunately  no cheaper  (*1) and there are still significant  limitations in shooting fast action, superior quality, or wide angled interiors (*2).
360 panoramic images for the internet  are also best captured digitally.
If quality images  captured on film are needed digitally,  scanning  and storing on CD is the good value and versatile solution.
To produce different and unusual images that stand out in a competitive marketplace I  have a wide selection of lenses, cameras and accessories that allow me to take subjects from a selection of angles and in different lighting situations.  The equipment makes the best of techniques such as speed blur, unusual light, out of focus, close focus, slow exposure, compressed imaging, and tilted horizons.
My Bowen's portable studio lighting system completes the system  for interiors and specialist situations.
No less important is the range of cases and accessories that allow it all to be transported airfreight  worldwide and and  operate  in a wide range of inhospitable conditions.

*1. Cost in digital is unfortunately  no cheaper as although there is no film expense the continual updating of digital equipment to take advantage of fast moving technology requires additional an fee.

*2 For fast action even the top range Nikon digital equipment does not yet compare to my F5  in terms of speed or quality.

*3 Image quality does not compare to my large negative  6X7. Also due to the complexities of lenses and digital chips a digital interior has to be taken on a wider than normal fish eye lens to cover the same room width. This causes "converging verticals" that look bad in a brochure. It can be fixed post production in Photoshop but that is expensive and can lead. to additional quality losses.
