all you have to do is expose once every 8.4 seconds over a 24 hour period with no bathroom breaks, and you have your 10,000 images.

HHmm,10,000 digital images per shooting day! It must be a very long day. That Canon 5 shutter must be worn out in a fortnight. I don't believe this.Ferdi.

Difference between film kit and kit with 33 MP digital back (the cheapest): $13459 Fuji Velvia 120 ISO 50: $5.99, E-6 per roll: $7.50= $13.49 (B&W film and processing are cheaper BTW), it gives almost 998 processed Velvia 50 120 slide film, it means 11976 shutter cycles for the film camera or frames. Canon 1V 35mm film camera body only: $1699 Canon 1D Mark IV digital camera body only: $4999 Canon 1 Ds Mark III digital camera body only: $ 6999 (B&H) Difference 1v and Mark IV (the cheapest digital) body only= $3300 Fuji Velvia 50 36 exp. slide film $6.95 + processing= $ 14.45, it gives 228 processed Velvia 50 35mm slide film, it means 8208 shutter cycles for the film camera (or frames). If film is cheaper or digital is cheaper considering only camera prices and film and processing for film cameras will depend about the number of shots you need for your photography for the cases described above, anyway while a processed slide is a final product, you need to add printing costs for a digital image to see it beyond a monitor, a negative will also need a print, but C-41 is cheaper than E-6 and B&W is even cheaper. OK, according you have the same digital camera more and more time, there is a point it will be cheaper to use than a film camera (always within my samples), but you'll never have the same digital camera for 50 years like a Rolleiflex TLR if you are a regular shooter. BTW, as a member wrote , I don't shoot film because it's cheaper than digital, I shoot film because I like it, however I also use and like digital for some tasks.
