I believe that your trust may be somewhat misplaced.
Digital (which I still don't use) appears to be a far more trustworthy
medium than film.

Airport scanners donšt expose it, cosmic rays don't fog it, and if you leave
it in your car in the sun, nothing changes. Digital is much easier to back
up, lets you see your images immediately, and the processor never adds
annoying water marks, scratches, and dust.

Film has many advantages, but the probability that the images you captured
will be there after you return from your vacation are digital rather than
film strengths.
