My first digital was the D70, and even then I was still doing film as the quality just wasn't there from a practical standpoint. Now that I've moved up to the D7000, I'm finally satisfied with digital. I think film still has the edge, but with film each push of the shutter cost money. There's something to be said for digital in that regard. I can do a lot more experimenting with digital that I could only dream about with film.
