As I've said before, the only thing I'm giving up by not going digital is convenience. With my film camera I can still compete with high end digital cameras on quality. This fact keeps me holding on to film. And, the conspicuous consumption season is almost here which may bring down prices still further.
If I were to buy a digital camera today I would give this camera strong consideration on a bang for your buck basis. The Nikon D100, which I would love to have, is still around $1500 without the lens and has about the same horsepower as this Canon with a lens for about $1000 retail.
When I buy a camera I will usually get at least ten years of use out of it so I am very slow to commit.
