I prefer digital cameras because for one, the picture quality is alot better, and I like how you can view your photo and if you don't like it, you can just delete it, instead of having to waste film on a picture that didn't turn out good for whatever reason.
When I was younger though, I loved film cameras, mainly because I didn't have a digital camera (:P) and because they were easier to get developed and actually have the paper copy in your hand. I did alot of scrapbooking back then, throughout my high school years so that's the reason it was important to me.
but now, I love my digital camera
