I'm about the same in digital frames shot as what I would on film, usually

time so this probably evens out film to digital.

Exactly!  Instead of several different cameras with different films and 
ISOs, you can carry one camera with variable ISOs that you can change when 
the light changes.  I took 3,000+ photos on my trip to the Middle East, but 
I would have taken that many with film, too, and I would have had to 
develop them, mount them, edit them, and scan them before I could use them 
in the assignment I was working on.  And I would have had to carry around 
all of those rolls of film through all of the airports and metal detectors 
at the checkpoints in every country!
