Hi Dan and Ted,

I've been struggling with the same things as you concerning digital vs. 
film.  I find that carrying both a digital D60 and film EOS1n (which 
are now dirt cheap to buy used) gives me the best of both worlds.  The 
film body can be used when I need a wider angle than the multiplication 
factor of the D60 permits and when I just need a fix of the wonderful 
ergonomics, feel and viewfinder of the EOS1n.  Truth be known, though,  
find myself reaching for the D60 most of the time.  My M4-2 has been 
languishing in the closet as the concerts and other performance 
photography I used to do with it is much easier and better with digital 
due to selectable color balance, variable ASA, multiplied lense factor, 
etc.
