There is ONE MAJOR advantage to digital that I see and like.  That is, color
balance.  With film, you have three choices.  B&W, Daylight color and
Tungsten Color.  If you use color balance filters, you reduce the ISO speed
drastically.  With digital, I can shoot WITHOUT a flash, existing
light...with color with no filters, and with the color coming out correct!
Previously, I'd shoot B&W in situations like this, meaning existing
light...but now color can be done in existing light.  I like that.
