I previously stated that I've kept my film gear but upon reflection I think a better answer is needed.
Look at commercial television. Some shows are shot with film; others videotaped. At least when it's film vs. videotape, film is warmer visually.
With our digital cameras, we have limitations with respect to wide angle coverage. We also have those terrible dust balls that can ruin scenic shots (happened to me more than once---AARGH).
I regret that I actually didn't shoot some of those precious scenics both with film and digital so that I would have at least one set of useful images.
Plus, as much as I like the D60, it still isn't up to par with my EOS3 or 1VHS (although I like the smaller footprint of the D60 but wish it had better build quality).
I bought the D60 and the D30 before it knowing they were far from perfect cameras. I didn't think I would use them as much as I do and they certainly made a believer out of me in digital imaging. Still, there are limitations. One thing I noticed is a bit different dynamic range. I now have a three-stop graduated neutral density filter when with film a two stop worked nicely on some scenics.
I do worry about microdrive failure. I will be in Alaska next week. I will be taking five 1gb microdrives with me, each getting 441 shots minimum in large fine JPEG (sorry, I rarely shoot RAW--quality improvement not significant enough vs. real estate consumed on the CF cards or microdrive). If I stay with large fine JPEG, that works out to 61 rolls of film, which hopefully will cover me (but I notice I shoot more with digital). I will have my 1VHS with me, too, and 20 rolls of Velvia and Provia (in fact, at the end of my trips I often wind up handing out unused film to other photographers).
I carry two batteries in my grip and another four charged up in my camera bag. I do worry about battery failure (but I have spares, so that worry is minimized). With my 1VHS, 8 AA batteries work like a charm and you can get them anywhere.
In some respects I miss coming back from a shoot and getting that box from Fuji a week or so later with my slides. But then those slides often sat in the box and took an eternity to scan. Now I come back, pop the CF card and/or microdrive in the reader and get to work.
So, although I seldom use film today, it still has a place.
I also note that there is a different learning curve with digital and it's yet to be adequately defined. With film, it really doesn't matter much whether you're shooting Nikon or Canon, they work about the same and, all things being equal, you should get the same shot with either. Not so with digital. How Nikon and Canon handle digital imaging is different. It's not like I can pick up an F5 or F100 and be shooting basic stuff within a minute even though I am not a Nikon shooter.
Ah, decisions, decisions.....
