I personally prefer digital because I love to photo retouch and plus I find it easier.
I guess some people swear by film so its a question worth asking.

I'll never go back to film, for as poor a photographer as I am, I need to be able to delete, delete.  |

Instant gratification is great. Also great being able to send photo around the world for opinion or just to show off. Digital is the way to go.

I voted digital but I still miss the vinegary smell of the darkroom.  |

Well I guess you guys are going to leave it up to the old photographer to wave the film banner...
IMO film has a feel and clarity that cannot be beat (still at this point) by digital, there is just something about a continuous tone photo, a richness, a quality that digital just does not have. In my opinion I doubt that digital will ever reach that level. Not to say that digital isn’t worth it, I doubt very seriously that I would by another film camera (but I have a closet full, so I have no need) But if I was getting into fine art or photography as a living, well film still has its place.
FWIW

Some say that 7 megapixels closely matches 35 mm film, but I don't own a 7 megapixel camera so its hard to compare

Personally i have to go digital, simply because i have gottem to use the canon EOS-1Ds Mark II and the pictures came out ... WOW...But they retail for around $8,000 so i dont think i am going to be buying one soon, though i wouldn't mind having one for X-Mas or my 22 B-Day. |
