Might as well jump into the film/digital fray. I am not now, or ever, getting into high calibre digital equipment. I have no problem with the images produced digitally as most pro work is exceptional. I have a problem with the never ending upward escalation of features and specifications. These pro cameras seem to re-invent themselves every couple of years or so, at considerable cost to the working pro. I have an F, two F2's and an F4 and they all work just fine, thank you. Actually, I think the F4 is the pinnacle of film based cameras. My wife's F5 is too much of a complication for me. I remember about ten years ago seeing plasma technology at The Sony Store. Incredible picture on a 27" screen. All for $16,000. Bet the guy that bought that puppy is still making payments on a TV that can now be purchased for $500. Same is happening in the digital photagraphy world. Sorry, can't afford the entry fee.
