I really don't think the thread is pointless; the original poster asked a very good question. Are there significant differences between film and digital that would cause one to be preferred over another under particular circumstances? If there were not differences, just buy the cheapest! I agree, for web viewing, it is difficult to sometimes see the difference. But there may be other reasons to sometimes choose film over digital for the image capture tool. Maybe speed? Maybe color balance, or strangeness like infrared? What is pointless is saying that only one tool is sufficient for everything, or that one media is inherently better than another, or that one class of camera is only good for "snapshots."
