Why have I changed? I haven't, I have both still.
It depends upon the purpose of the shoot. If it is a quick pic of something I really don't care about the final quality I use digital (kijiji ads, insurance documentation, how the motor I am tearing down for rebuild looked through the process).
If it something I want to invest time and produce a great image I use film, either 35mm or 120 format.
That being said, customers want immediate results!
Therefore I know if I am working with a model who only wants a few pics for a web portfolio, I use digital. Whereas, if she is invested in the industry and wants a hard portfolio, I use film.
I would hate to do a shoot in digital and later have someone come back to me and ask if they could use it for a billboard. The largest print I have done from a digital camera is 24" x 36", perhaps others have done larger prints but I have not.
Digital has many advantages but as far as I have seen it the last 31 years of doing this, it can not replace film.
I prefer film cameras to digital cameras. The pictures look better.

Film cameras
Because there is no need for a chemical film in a digital camera.
No, polaroid camera film is currently not being manufactured due to the new technology of digital cameras and digital camcorders. They don't even make film cameras hardly at all anymore.
No. You cannot economically convert a film camera to a digital camera. The digital system is very different and fitting it to an existing film camera is more expensive than buying a new digital camera. Some of the more expensive professional cameras can change between film and digital backs replacing the film transport with digital technology. The replacement backing includes all the electronics and controls typical of a digital camera of that caliber.
A Digital Camera Stores Images in a Digital Format unlike older cameras which used to store images on a film or metal plate...
Film cameras are still widely availbale as are Polaroid cameras.
The digital camera's sensor is equivalent to the light-sensatve emulsion on film.
with digital photography you can see your picture in an instant. If you don't like the picture you can erase it and take a new one. This is not possible with a film camera.
Hasselblad makes a 50 MP digital back for their film cameras, and produces a 32 MP stand-alone digital camera.
in my opinion i would say the price of a camera today and things you have to buy to go with it is extortionate compared to a film camera and also a film camera is authentic and gives and traditional look to photo's Hope this answers your question :)
