The migration to digital from analog cameras.(COMPONENT INTEGRATION)

With the introduction of industrial digital cameras for the machine vision and scientific imaging markets nearly 20 years ago, why is it that the majority of cameras used in vision systems last year continue to be based on analog cameras? Especially since digital cameras promise to deliver higher quality images, faster data rates, more frames per second and eliminate or minimize the need for a frame grabber.
