Default Which is better? digital cameras or older crappy cameras that use film?

If people like both of them why don't manufacturers make a camera that

uses both
technologies like those dual DVD/VHS players?


Not easy to do. Affordable low-cost digital sensors are a lot smaller than
film and need a different kind of lens in order to work well.

For a long time Kodak has been trying to sell people on the idea of taking
pictures on film and having them digitized at the processing lab.
