Best Answer

Some prefer film because of the cheaper alternative to digital - digital bodies go obsolete quickly, and gadget hungry photographers may feel the need to upgrade every other year, whereas a film camera from the 1950s can still be relevant if proper technique is applied. The tradeoff is that you must really understand composition, lighting, and camera settings to produce great images because you can not have the instant gratification of looking down at the LCD to view results after a shot. However, picking up a film SLR for a fraction of the cost of digital is a huge advantage.

In one aspect, digital can be cheaper in that you don't need to develop film in order to see your images, and can print only the images you want - not taking into account the cost of upgrading equipment every now and then.
