Your a dying breed... Go ahead and get your hole dug, and a stone carved...
Kidding, mostly.
Film will be around for years, for many things, but digital is easier for the masses.
Kinda like you used to be able to get a decent steak just about anywhere, but now its an OK hamburger just about anywhere. Its just another sign of our fastfood society.

No, I still use film. Today I shot a golden wedding anniversary using digital and film, 202 digital images and 2 36 exposure rolls of Portra 400nc. All but 3 of the film images were keepers. Not sure about the digital, I'm too tired to edit tonight. But I expect to discard a few more digital than film, mostly because I snap freely with digital capture knowing some won't make the grade due to blinks, people stepping into the picture, etc etc. and it costs nothing to snap away.
I have been taking a different approach with film lately and shooting mostly with a 50mm f/1.4 lens, usually without flash. It makes a different look altogether than digital.
I still have a few accomplished photographer customers who shoot film from time to time, and a couple who never went digital at all, even with a point and shoot digicam. So you're not the only one, but your ranks are fewer than they were!

No. For personal enjoyment, I shoot transparencies and B&W film.
It's a different story professionally. I've only had 3 clients request film shoots in the last 2 or 3 years and those were for medium format.

Don't worry, I still use my film camera. I love it, despite the fact that digital cameras bring instant gratification. There's something about waiting for your pictures that makes film special.

No I'm sure you're not, becuase in some countries peopel can't afford just recording cameras and stuff.
