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 :)
No. Although film cameras are nice when sending a child to camp or on a feild trip, Digital cameras are not only cheaper to develope but there are more places that you can develope them

Some people thought that digital photography would offer some advantages over film-based photography, so they developed digital cameras.
Digital cameras have number of advantages over traditional film cameras. Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after they have been taken. Also because of the advances on memory devices it is possible to store hundreds to thousands of images on a single small device, and deleting images to free storage space. Finally, digital cameras allow integration with modern digital systems (like cell phones) and photo transfer to and from computers.
The Canon EOS is a professional digital SLR camera. SLR cameras offer the user the range of options in terms of lenses, flashes, etc. that a regular film camera accepts. This ability for customization combined with the way it captures the image, which is more true to a film camera than other digital cameras, account of the price.
Nikon lists over 180 different digital camera models on their web site. As of mid-September, 2012 it looks like there are 34 current digital models, and two film models available.
The prices of digital cameras range from about $100 to over $1,000. The cheapest ones are known as compact digital cameras, which have a price tag close to $100. However, these cheap digital cameras have the most basic features which are good enough for basic photography but not sufficient for advanced photographers. For example, the resolution in cheap cameras is rarely over 12 Megapixels. Additionally, there may not be HD video recording capabilities. Inexpensive point and shoot cameras may support memory cards only up to a certain storage capacity, such as 4 GB.
The 1950s saw cameras becoming more compact so by the early 60s, the most common cameras used film to take pictures on to a 2 1/4" square negative. Kodak was the company known for low cost cameras and was probably the biggest manufacturer of cameras at the time. 35mm film was also in common use and professional single lens reflex cameras were becoming common. The 35mm SLR of the 60s in fact looked little different to the digital SLRs of today. They were certainly heavier and bulkier than modern SLRs and of course used film rather than digital sensors. Other than size and weight, the general layout of SLRs has changed little over the last 50 years.
Yes, newegg.com does have digital cameras for purchase from the following brands: Nikon, Canon and Olympus. They offer both point and shoot cameras as well as digital SLRs. The prices range from around $100 to over $1800.
The most popular brand of SLR digital cameras is Nikon D3100,Canon's EOS 550D,Canon's EOS 600D or Sony's DLSR-A390. They are all excellent for beginners or experts and they vary in price.
Canon digital sir is better than other sir cameras because it provides better pictures. The quality of the pictures is a lot clearer and easier to modify.
You don't have to pay for film. You don't have to pay for someone to develop your film. You have a nearly endless supply of shots at your disposal. But, the most important factor in my opinion is this: Convenience.
