Why?

I love my digital Fuji S2 & S3 Pro. The convenience of having a Digital Camera for any type of work is just amazing. The picture quality is superb no matter what size you print (well, I've never gone larget than a 20x30).
At one point in time (and still argued every now and then) people believed you can't do 'artistic' photography with a digital camera. However, since the development of PRO DSLRs that argument is no longer valid as anything you can do with a film SLR can be done with a DSLR.

Both systems have their own advantages and disadvantages; neither is better overall. It's what goes through the lens that counts, not the means used to store the image thereafter.
If I need images in a hurry I use digital, otherwise I use film. When I scan photos, I can choose which parts of the photo I want to scan, and can decide what level of resolution I want to use. With an image from a digital camera, you're stuck with what level of resolution you've got.

I am now digital ever since I found a good digital SLR within a reasonable price range, a Pentax istD. Wow! Talk about leap forward. I can now delete photos on the spot if I can tell a certain image will not work. Load the pictures on my computer without having to use my scanner. I do not even have to store more photos or negatives. I will still keep my Canon T-50 and T-70 just for sentimental reasons. Maybe I will use them again, especially if I want to try something in b&w.
This is like trading in my tape and CD player for my MP3 player.

Recently I've switched my preference to digital. I spent about $400 and am not one bit sorry. Convenience, ability to proof photos immediately, and instant access on my computer means a lot to me. Also, ability to shoot lots of pictures and delete what I don't like saves a lot of cash. Easier to catalog and file photos. A tripod can help eliminate the blurriness inherited in most digital cameras.
It really does depend on what you want to do with your photographs.
If I'm enlarging a photo a good SLR and a good tripod is my preference; especially if you are enlarging bigger than 12x9; but must use slower speed film for crisper enlargements.
Hope this helps.

It depends. I actually like both really. They both have their pros and cons. With digital, it's easier to use of course and you can see the pictures right on the screen. Film cams are pretty nice too, if you're talking about SLR. If anything I got a DSLR so it's both cameras in one without having to process film, but I like both.

It depends. I like using film for all of my artistic work, but for just going out and having fun I like to use my digital. I like the look of film grain without having to modify images digitally to achieve it.

I used to be adamantly against digital cameras, but they have gotten so good that I finally bought one (a Sony) and love it. The pictures are beautiful, clear, and it is virtually inpossible to take a bad one. It is also so easy to get them onto my computer and then e-mail or print them... film pictures have to be scanned.
