I have not used a 35 mm in years - I adore having a digital camera because I am not a patient photographer, so I can take a lot of images without having to pay for a lot of film.
Ah, you took the words right out of my mouth! My thoughts, exactly! This also can be applied to the concept that more megapixels don't necessarily mean better shots. An amateur can have a 12MP camera and take lousy shots whereas a professional can have a 3MP camera and take amazing shots. Its all in technique, knowing your camera (whether it be film or digital), and ability!
