One word, cost.

Went to a wedding yesterday. There were 2 photogs, one using a Fuji
DSLR, the other 35mm(strange).

I had my 35mm Vivitar P&S.

I ran out of shots quickly. lost some moments while replacing
film.
Dont know if the guy using the DSLR saved as RAW, but I saw him replace
the card just once. I bet even those using P&S digitals shot the whole
day on just one card(which will be reused later).

Furthermore, I really dont like exposing the inside of the camera(lens,
etc.) to the dust, smoke, etc. while replacing the film.

Also, film has an expiration date; something I learned the hard way
once.

I am thinking my next P&S(or even SLR) will be digital.
Can someone give me a reason(s) to stay with film?

It seems to me that staying with film is only relevant for the
non P&S case. If you're doing P&S, then digital is for you.
(Or, if, say, it's hard for you to use a computer). I can imagine
that a 85 yr old grandmother might stay with film. Though she might
certainly be able to cope with digital, she probably wouldn't.

As others have said, if you want to learn a lot about "old school"
photography and can't afford a dSLR, then film could still be for you.

Interesting bias there Ken,
I get a lot of people in my shop asking for prints from their digital
cameras. Many don't know the camera has a flash card. All they want is to
have a camera which takes photos they get prints from. Occasionally I get
people sent by mini labs for recovery of lost or damaged data on their
cards. All are return customers and all are happy with the prints.

Nearly every time I get a customer who owns a DSLR, I get a lecture on how
much they know and precisely how to handle their images. 60% of the time the
images I handle exactly as they specify are not acceptable to them for any
number of reasons including focus. It seems I Un-focus their images in the
process of printing them without manipulation! Curious, isn't it?
