While most of my work is digital nowdays, I still love to shoot film for my personal projects. No matter how far digital goes, film and proper processing will, for the most part, deliver superior results. Don't believe me? Shoot the exact same shot with film and digital to the best of your ability, and then compare the prints.
Still shooting film and love it. I shoot digital, too. It's all about making a photograph...the camera is only a tool. Film and digital cameras are two different tools that can give you different results. Some of us prefer one tool over the other and that's good. The variety of tools available just means more options for us to accomplish our vision or to complete our work.
Although I feel 8-10 MP is sufficient for most of my work, I will buy a Canon 5D MK III (21 MP) within the year because I DO want to make large prints. Past that, I suggest quality improvements re: sensors, ,most of us do not need ever increasing MP, 6/8/10 is more than sufficient for the average casual photographer. And yes, my plans will necessarily require a full line (computer, storage and printer etc...) of upgrades.
Five years ago was the last time I shot with film. I still have my film cameras collecting dust on a shelf. I have three Canon Digital system and my whole operation is with in that environment. The closest I get to film shoot is when I treat my digital camera like shooting with a film camera on manual. It is always good to have films around as a subject for discussions like this.

Hi, I still shoot film and I'm very happy that it appears to be with us for a while. I have started to shot with a DSLR I know that the future will come soon. I have a beginners DSLR A200 so that I can use my Minolta glass. Film is like a familar sweater...real comfortable. It will take sometime to switch over completely....thanks
Actually, I like film better for black & white and am probably going to take a photography course at the local community college just to have access to the darkroom. I traded in my Canon F1N for a used Canon EOS 1V so I could use the some of the same lenses as my Canon EOS 40D. (But I really miss my F1N; over 20 years of use, it never let me down.) Maybe I'm getting old, but I miss the relative simplicity of the older film cameras. I have a pretty good grasp of the 40D but I know I haven't even begun to explore all of it's capability (and menus, buttons, etc.)
My freezer is fully loaded with paper and film. 35mm, 6x7 and 4x5, 8x10-16x20 color and B&W. I haven't shot film or done traditional printing for three years. I have 30 years processing and printing experience. Always done my own E-6 and mixed my own custom B&W developers. Don't know if I will ever go back but I haven't torn down my darkroom yet.
I still love to shoot my Nikon FM2 and N90s. They are great cameras. The FM2 is nice and compact and fits beautifully in the hand, and the N90s holds up to much newer autofocus designs. For the ultimate in quality, I shoot a Mamiya RB67.
