I come to you with these questions.

Why should I buy a film SLR over a D-DLR?

If you need to ask, you don't know enough about photography to really justify either. So get a film SLR, 'cause it's cheaper in the short term.

The H3d 39 is a good beginner model.

From a cost pov, film has cheaper start-up costs, digital requires more of an initial investment. Both work out to about the same in the end.
Otherwise, it just comes down to what look you prefer. Film provides a wide range of styles, without messing with in-camera settings or, depending on the film, much post processing. Digital tends to emphasize post processing to a much larger degree, but can give you a greater degree of control. Just depends on your mindset and what kind of workflow you prefer.

Because a digital has everything the film has, while the film doesn't have everything a digital has.

+ becuase of the fact that you have to buy and develop film, a digital will pay itself back in a year or two.

Point and case:

Filmfags are either wannabe artfags, or people who deeply understand and use what film offers. If you want to take pictures without going in depth with this, and without paying extra (over the long run) go digital.

I have shot both film and didgital for years and there are more pros, especially for a beginner, when it comes to digital. From what iv experienced the learning curve with digital is much better and faster. Its easier to see the direct result of your actions and by that be able to learn from them. digital in the long run will save you money. people argue the print quality and tonal ranges but there there are some DSLRs out there that come damn close if not better than many 35mm film cams. if you ever intend to do it for a living or make money off of it then most people (hiring companies, weddings, most commercial ( though in many commercial studios they still use large format sheet film), are going to want digital because that is the way the market has gone and will continue to go. Film will, im pretty sure, be around for a long ass time if not forever but it will soon become very expensive. Eastman Kodak will soon be discontinuing 100% of its film production. many phototraphy "labs" no longer do film and or primarily use digital. pretty much if you arnt an arsty self righteous ass fuck then in the long run digital will be your best bet. even when concerning printing its not going to really matter unless your work is hanging if famous galleries all over the world and by then youd be able to afford the top of the line DSLR and it wouldnt be an issue. plus most of the photography you see now adays is digital, either scanned or DSLR so if the technology isnt there just yet it will be very soon.

all i can say is good luck getting loyalty and dependability out of your horseless carriage. my horses have never ignored my commands for a lack of feed, nor have i ever needed anyone else to perform maintenance on them, both things that i know these scary newfangled automobiles are prone to. in addition, if you -- oh wait, cameras?

*erm, ahem* well just you try getting the wamth and tone out of your heartless new 'cd' technology that you can get with a nice, big rack of vinyl. sure you cant play them in your car but who needs to go anywhere when you've got...
