From my perspective, film is too expensive. I can shoot over 7000 frames on a three week trip. Carrying 200 rolls of film would be cumbersome to say the least and the price would be absolutely prohibitive.

And I don't quite get the statement that digital cameras are disposable consumer electronics. I've had my dSLR body for nearly 5 years and it is still going quite strong.

But film has its place, as well. A local camera shop is in the process of going out of business and they have some Nikon F4 bodies for €150... I just may pick one up.

Cheers,
T.
