Sorry for the error here is the reply in full.

On a base level film still captures three times the info that digital does. 
Digital capture in any case renders grain and texture different on the minute 
level. This is what bother some art photographers but for most purposes 
digital is  ok as soon as the price comes down to a level that is more 
affodable for the quality pro cameras.
The also is the inertia from: film camera aren't broken, why fix them with 
digital?
I of course prefer film because that is what i know and what I am set up to 
do. I like having an original that I can see where I have a full gamut of 
colors and am not restricted by smaller gamut of the monitor. With digital 
photography you only get what the monitor see. I also like having a physical 
object - slides that are different than the elctronic forms that are harder 
to destroy than with the erronous click of the button.
Even Hollywood movies which are filmed digitaly are distributed on film. Why? 
Because the digial projectors cost $150,000+ and for a seven screen movie 
house this would mean over a million dollars in investment which is a hunk of 
change to do the same thing that is already being done by film projectors. 
But when prices come down alot more you'll see more digital cameras in pro 
hands.
