I still prefer film most of the time but it is a pain getting good quality film, and then getting it developed and then scanning it. 35mm print film is easy to get processed in Adelaide but slide film is a bit more difficult. I use Fuji Velvia slide film most of the time (but not for astro) and I don't bother buying it locally. It's way overpriced from what I've seen, so I import it in bulk packs from the USA for a fraction of the price. So far I haven't had a roll damaged by x-rays or heat so that's a definate money saver.
I can't see film disappearing anytime soon. The image quality of the larger formats in particular isn't about to be challenged by any affordable digital camera.
