My fiance and I have visited some photographers already. We noticed some shoot with traditional film while others use a digital camera. 1)Which comes out better? 2)Which is cheaper? 3)Which lasts longer?
What do most photographers prefer and is it too early for digital camera technology to be used?

Re: Film VS Digital
(from an earlier post) There is still much controversy concerning film vs. digital. I find for myself that I still prefer film to produce proofs for each exposure since I average over 1000 pictures at a wedding and that would be too many to see as thumbnails on a screen. Since all film pics can be digitized, I prefer light through a negative exposing a photograph and choosing different films in different cameras with different lenses. That's still my biased preference. Many photographers are switching to digital and are happy about it.
There is no question that film is still higher quality then digital (although digital quality has come a long way.)
Cost is less with digital if you don't get proofs (although there is still a saving on the film and processing)
Make sure that enlargements are made on photographic paper rather then inkjet.
Good luck! (if you don't see a difference, then by all means go with whatever you like best.)
