Default Were the press still routinely using film cameras throughout the 1990s?

I ask this because nearly every press picture from the 1990s I have seen seems to have been done on film even though digital cameras did exist back then despite not taking off with the public by the early 2000s, as the press are ahead of the public with technology surely digital cameras would have been cheap enough for them by the period in question.

In Ugly Betty, the magazine was using film cameras even in the mid 2000s.

Obviously UB is fictitious, but when portraying a high end magazine the producers would want to make it look as "up to date" as possible, so I imagine it's an accurate if not implausible way they used cameras up ti then.

Digital camera image quality was (relatively) crap until the mid 00's. Fine for snaps but not professional pictures.
