Good grief, will you and the others participating in this "my digital is
better than your film" and vice versa silly argument give it a break? Why
the need to exert such effor to convince others of the superiority of the
medium with which you choose to make mages?  Does it really matter to you
that some people prefer film (or to the film buffs that some people prefer
digital)? Who cares? If you like digital, use it, if you like film, use it.
If you want to argue, join a debating society and take it there.

Now let me see...in Europe (including Eastern Europe), the bulk of Asia, the
Americas (North at least), and Australasia, at a minimum, the trend away
from 35mm film is very very strong.  Who else is left and what percentage of
global GDP do they represent?

Cheaper but not cheap.  You need an economics lesson ol' son.
