Speak for yourself.    Digital has many advantages over film.   No 
film, for one thing.   That means no worries about x-rays when 
traveling, no developing costs, instant feedback, no grain or dust or 
scratches, WYSIWYG because you don't have to go from negative to 
positive to see your results, etc.

Still, I shoot mostly film and I have 3 Nikon bodies and about a 
dozen lenses.   I use an Olympus digicam for studio test shots.  I 
would LOVE to go all-digital but I don't like the 1.6X cropping 
factor and no decent wide-angle lenses and too much DOF of Nikon's 
tiny sensors.  On the other hand replacing my lens collection with 
Canons would cost a bloody fortune.   So I'm really pissed that Nikon 
is being so secretive and stubborn about this.
