Exactly!  And that's why I love the M8 - it's fun!  I just much 
prefer the instant feedback, no monetary penalty for experimenting, 
no worrying about keeping up with exposed rolls of film, developing, 
mounting, scanning, filing.  I still use film occasionally but 
certainly not for fun.  Digital is fun for me.

To each his/her own!
