Problem with that is you need C-41 processable B&W to get those cheap walmart rates.
I shoot slide film, and it definitely isn't 1.70 a roll (In fact its about $9.50 CAD for a 36 exp roll) Transparency film is awesome though, ISO 50 35mm stuff definitely holds detail up to about 2400 Dpi. The problem is, Most C-41 B&W is 400 ISO, which definitely doesn't hold up to scanning aswell. So the 10 MP comparison isn't completely true.
Also just because its a film camera doesn't mean the Lenses automatically become cheaper, In fact finding non APS sensor lenses that Autofocus is just as expensive if not more so, than on Digital. Also the quality film is low ISO stuff, So the 80-200 f4-5.6 won't cut it for most things anymore.
I also have a D50, which i've taken about 30,000 pics on in a year and 2 months (And I was without it for 4 weeks while it was being repaired). Its good to have both, But for utility the Digital will pretty much always win.
