I think even a 1-megapixel camera, if nicely laid out by a photographer (proper switches and dials, not those multimode pushbuttons that always return to default settings) would be a good addition to one's camera bag. But for now, it seems that you can save a high-res image to film far faster than to flash RAM, and film's storage capacity still looks really good.
