Here's 2 great articles covering the battle between Analog and Digital Photography: Digital vs Film - The Great Debate by Michael Reichmann and a commentary on it by Australian photographer Nick Rains titled Digital Is Not Film. Below is my position on the subject.
I am not trying to convince any one that analog is better than digital; whatever works for you is what you should go with. The following is my perspective on the situation.
I still shoot 35 mm negative film with my Nikon F5, although I do use a digital camera for work-related projects (Because it's difficult to develop film in Afghanistan, which is where I am in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.)
People ask me all the time though: "Is that a digital camera you're using?" What's the obsession with digital? I shoot film, drop it off at a 1-hour lab, have them scan the negatives, and there - I have some 4x6 proofs and a CD with HI-RES scans, that I can manipulate in PS7. The Nikon F5 is the best camera on the planet (in my eyes at least) for the following reasons: It is practically indestructable, easy to use, features precise metering, a long list of available lenses and accessories to name a few... Yes, it is heavy and big, but I just can not see the latest digi-cam hitting the ground and surviving the fall. The F5 can. That's what's important in my line of work. Shooting in a combat zone requires equipment that can take the abuse. Another major point is that I KNOW I will get the shot I need withough messing with little buttons and menues on the digi-cam. So while you're scrolling through the menues, I am getting the shot that you're missing.
While having instant image feedback on a digi-cam is a very nice feature, it does not warrant spending 5,000 on a 12 MP SLR camera (excluding the lens). At least not now. As for quality, it's becoming less of an issue - today's digital cameras are capable of delivering same quality as a 35mm film camera, unless you're blowing up poster-size photos, and I have. Digital's got a way to go there.
Well, that's it. Again, I am not trying to convince any one here, just stating my personal opinion. Whatever gets you the results you're looking for - that's what you should use. The camera does not make a picture, the photographer does any ways, the camera is there to help realize your vision, so there's no reason to get all bent out of shape about this long on-going ANALOG/DIGITAL argument.
