Truly informative links - thank you for that.
As many of the above posters have said, choosing film or digital is not a lifestyle statement, merely a choice of crayon.
One of the most significant factors is that right now is a fantastic time to get your hands on all sorts of great film gear that a few years ago would have been quite out of reach financially. This applies in particular to medium format gear which will long outperform budget DSLRs, and can now be had for the same price or less. Expect a surge in large format sales - this will become the final frontier of film photography that goes boldy into 8x10 where no digital camera can match under $1000,000. At least, for now....
