Ken has it right.  The 'rational brain' calculations have it all wrong. 
The equation isn't one of cost per exposure, it's one of productivity.  I'm
much more productive with the DMR than with the SL.  Part of that is
because I can afford to make a LOT more mistakes with the DMR than with any
film - so the assumption that a digital camera is used like a film camera
is all wrong.

How much is that productivity worth?  That's for each of us to decide based
on our unique circumstances.
