paying for film and developing, waiting for developing, etc....

Digital, instant gratification. Because you can shoot 1000 pictures of your foot for free while changing every setting in the camera, you can learn a lot. To do the same with a film camera would be time consuming and expensive.

Hell, I can get a great 35mm film camera and tons of lenses and accessories really cheaply, actually, I have 2 35mm film cameras, but having a digital is much better. I take a lot more pictures than I used to because I know it's free if I blow 100 shots on nothing or having forgotten to change the ISO or whatever.
