Do you shoot Film or Digital?

Vote one of the 4 choices which most closely fits your style.

Let's see what develops ..

60% digital (because it pays for my home), 39% film (more if I had more time for my personal work), 1% talk about it because anything more is a waste of precious life and takes away from shooting.
 
hmmm... more time or shots. I shoot more shots with digital but I'm spending more time with my film cameras.
 
Almost completely film. Once in a while the DSLR comes out, but rarely.

I'd shoot more digi if someone wants to donate a m8/m9.... but I doubt that'll happen. :)
I'm pretty happy in the darkroom anyway.

I'd say about 80 percent film and 20 percent digital. I use a digi P/S to sketch out my film shots. I find it's a less expensive way to determine if I've actually got a shot or not.

I'll usually keep the sketches that work then return with film. It actually saves me money, film and time. I also use it for snapshots for family and friends by email.
 
Okay, I'll play: approximately 80% film; the balance is divvied up between my (borrowed) Olympus C-8080, my tiny-but-fun Casio EX-850, and the camera in my BlackBerry Curve. Thinking about a Samsung TL-500, or maybe that new Nikon P-7000, but I'm not getting any more "into" digital than that, if that.

Using film, promoting film, and serving film community (by offering darkroom printing services). Currently looking for an affordable 8x10 kit :D

Two film scanners, an Epson inkjet for making digital negatives (alternative and contact printing).

My 2 (only) digital cameras are the oh-so-versatile Olympus E-P2, and a super cheap Fuji S3 Pro (just so I can use Nikon AF glasses).
 
I'm all film. I own an inexpensive Lumix digital, but I almost never use it because I have to read the instructions first, because its been so long since I used it last time, and on and on. I suspect that I might shoot more digital if I could afford and justify the price of an M8 or M9, but thats never going to happen.
 
one year ago i was 100% film. now i am about 80% digital and maybe 20% film.
if kodachrome were still an option i would probably be about 50/50.

80% film, 20% digital
My kid is too fast for film indoors hence the digital. But when I'm out its film camera baby!
 
For hobby, which I call "my photography," it's 100% film. That's the photos that I might print in darkroom and hang from wall or show to people "that's my photo" in my portfolio. All public exhibition and a few publications that I've taken part in were with film.

For work like occasional paid shoot, self-made stock photo for design job, any other design materials, I use digital. Also "for sale" shots are by digital.

All-n-all, If I combine them all, I have to choose "Mostly Film, Some Digital."

To answer the question posed by the thread (although twisting it a little), I shoot both film and digital.

In the past year, the M8 has become my walk-around camera. Accordingly the high percentage of shots I take are now digital. Vive la difference!
