Not like today where I can press the shutter release a few thousand times and the only cost is the time it takes to cull photos.

I know a lot of people (my son included) are purchasing film cameras out of nostalgia or claim that film has more soul than digital or whatever I've gone through thousands of rolls of film and my personal opinion is than God for my DSLR.
