The only thing I lament about the death of film is the lack of permanence inherent to digital imagery. I read somewhere that it is estimated that in 50 years there will be more pictures surviving from the Civil War than there will be from those taken today. I don't know how true that is but a hard drive crash or even a single errant mouse click and the digital image is gone whereas film prints and negatives are much more durable.
