Somewhere I've got an old canon ixus, but that hasn't been used for years. At work I do sometimes use the nikon d7000, but my personal photos are 100% film.

100% 35mm and120 since 1962.
Digital ? It's just a passing fad....

100 % film.
I will never say never, but so far I have not found a digital I can tolerate (and I can't afford an M9 at this point).
I plan on renting the GXR for a week this Summer to try it out.

As my bank account will attest, I'm solidly in the film camp, with only an aging Fujifilm F40 P&S for quick snaps.
I will soon have to explore at home E6 and C41 processing and scanning because film, development, and scan costs add up quickly.

90% film here. But you just can't beat the convenience of digital sometimes. I use digital for product shots, quick snaps, and recording information (bus timetables etc.).

I just did my first E-6 processing - it was a pain in the ass, but the results look wonderful. I used the Arista kit (a little more than $20, should be good for ten rolls, probably more than that).

95% film.
i still have one good digital compact (canon powershot g11), but dont use it often anymore. i should sell it.
i mainly use it now for quick snaps for posting in the net e.g. of my gear, or for experimenting, e.g. with long exposures.
however it wasnt a conscious decision to go for film. just happend, that i dont like the experience of taking pictures with a digital anymore and the results either.

Glad to hear it! That's very encouraging. I have wanted to try E6 processing at home myself but have heard it's difficult to get it right. I think I'll pick up a kit and give it a whirl. Heck, I can't do any worse than some labs I've used in the past!

I'm about 98 percent film. But my kids always express disappointment when they ask me to see the image on the back of my camera that isn't there.

I have tried quite some digital cameras, but what works for me is 100% film.

100% film (except for scanned images for specific uses), but not 100% rangefinders.

Currently, 100% film, but sometimes tempted to return to Sigma (Foveon).

100% film for my own stuff since 1966, including happy snaps (all slide and BW).
100% digital for work (not as a pHotographer) since 1995.

Only slide film
Me, 41 years old. ONLY shoot and project slide film. I've never gone digital and have no desire to. The joy of shooting slides is in the challenge of getting a perfect shot and of course viewing them.

100% film and 100% B&W (at this point.)
Grew up on computers, wanted something real. Would wet print if I had a stable place to live.

I should also add...
I don't have a cell phone, ipad, i-anything, or mp3.
I only use my computer for email and reading about bicycling, swimming and photography, and of course shopping for them. Oh and I use my computer for work related stuff because I must.
I don't care for facebook or twitter. In fact I think I've never gone on their websites.
The irony of all this is that I'm the guy that everyone turns to when there's a problem with the computers or printers at work!
I don't digitize my slide photos and don't care to. When my wife likes a photo that I've taken, she just takes a photo of it off the wall when it's being projected... she uses a digital SLR. I've have a box of all my best slides. And I have a backup box in a different country that has... you guessed it... my backup slides.
So I'm not too worried about losing all my photos in a flood or fire.
Life is simple this way. I guess that's also why I shoot an all manual camera. I can't stand menus and cameras that need toggling in order to turn on a self timer!
By the way, all the above mentioned stuff is just me and my thinking. I hope you don't take any of it as an attack on you.
Smile!

100% film, except for digital pics of film gear to sell, so I can buy other film gear.
