Re: Disappointingly
In what? Certainly not in convenience or price. As for quality of results - I stand a better chance of taking a good photo if I can take 100 shots than if I can only take a few shots because of the price of the film & processing. And if I can check that the photo came out OK while I am still in a position to re-take it, there is less chance of missing photos of those once-in-a-lifetime events.
As far as inherant quality of the photo is concerned, a high-end digital camera can better the quality & resolution of 35mm film while offering far greater dynamic range via multi-exposure techniques.
