I use both, but I have to say that digital is far easier. Digital allows you to see your images immediately after they are taken, and you can either keep them or dispose of them at that moment. You can tell immediately if your exposure, white balance, etc., are correct, and made adjustments as necessary.

With film you have no such freedom. You will not know what the results are until you receive your prints.

On the other hand, film still beats digital in image quality. You would need more than 20 megapixels to get the same resolution that film provides. Film is still the choice of photographers who need the ultimate in detail and resolution. I have a large-format film camera which takes incredible pictures which no DSLR can match. Not to mention that the ability to tilt, swing, or shift the lens position can give me an incredible variety of perspectives of the same object.

Many people love digital because they can edit their pictures on a computer. This is very convenient, but you can also edit your film pictures, all you have to do is ask your processor to give you a photo dvd along with your prints. This way you can share pictures taken with a film camera on the internet, or edit them as you like.
