Wow! What a broad dangerous topic! A camera is a tool. Photographers make their images using tools. Some photographers are arguably better than others, though the word "better" is very contestable. Some tools are better at some tasks than other tools. Analog/chemical technologies have been improving for at least 150 years. The disposable cameras in the grocery store are, in practically all respects, better instruments than the photography Masters had at the turn of the (previous) century. Likewise, the digital technology has been improving to where in some cases it is just as good, or demonstratively better than film. I would tend to argue that at the "consumer" sub $150 level the digital cameras are superior in most respects to film. However even in this category I can still find applications where film is useful. [How 'bout those disposable underwater jobs?] At the "prosumer" level between $200 and $1000 things are definitely not definite. So many arguments can be made either way that I could only timidly venture an opinion. In terms strictly of image quality; sharpness, correct exposure; I would almost vote for digital. For convenience and creative capabilities there are plusses and minus-es to both. Film cost become an issue, but also obsolescense. At the "professional" level -a professional will use the tool best suited to getting the job done. Likely this is both film and digital. In the 35mm category, I believe that digital is now gaining the edge. "Image quality" in terms of sharpness and exposure is equaling film. Film does have "special" features that make it attractive; wider speed range and exposure latitude, longer life battery. [If you are comparing something actually measurable, like sharpness or exposure latitude, it would be interesting to compare film and digital vs size of output. I think with the 6-8M pixel level we are about in the area where digital crosses over the capabilities of film. Except for some very important special cases.] At the "professional" level, there is also large format, which is a whole new level of performance, and difficulties. This is mostly opinion -changable and debatable. For some tangible technical stuff, I like to visit the linked site.
