I am a fi;m person, all the way. While new digital technology does rival film and it makes it a lot easier on the photographer, it still loses some of the depth and richness that film has. If anyone has wednesday's times they had a whole special circuits section on digital photography. Honestly if it's a good digital camera, most people won't be able to tell the difference. Sometimes with digital you get these little halos, they almost look like the mitre lines you get when solarizing, they tend to look a little flatter. A lot of people who swore by fi;m have now moved completely to digital, so that tells you something, To me I want film, I want richness and I want 'real ' photography.
I agree with Mary I am a film person all the way and want film - but digital is supposed to be less expensive and they take more photos when they use digital - we are getting digital b/c FH is a computer person and its one of the only things he's insisting on b/c he thinks digital is better quality and says that if you get the CDs they won't deteriorate like negatives do - BUT you MUST ask for HIGH RESOLUTION CDs otherwise the quality of the photo if you try to make a print is horrible!!
I know there ware posts done on this topic before...you might want to run a quick searchin BHB.
We got a film photographer. I had wanted digital because its easier to edit and make different styles in an album, but I loved the pictures that my photographer takes. I figured that everyone else at my wedding will take digital pictures and I can use/edit those images if I want to.
I am with the others and am going with film. The clarity, depth, and beauty come through better on film than they do digitally. Also, my fear is that things will happen too fast to be caught on a digital camera. Although I want my photographer (when I figure out who it will be) to shoot digital as well, just not as the main camera.

I rather digital because if a great picture has a flaw it can be corrected and edited.
Im a digital person for most pictures but I do agree that black and white is much richer in film. Thats the only real differnce, or so said MANY MANY MANY of the photographers I have asked about this.

Film pictures can be edited and corrected in a digital format. They just have to be scanned.
