NOT TRUE, because you are forgetting something very important, ARCHIVING.
With film, you get the negatives as well as the prints.
Only problem is when they lose your film or scratch it or put their paws on it in order to archive their fingerprints.
With digital you now have the extra work of somehow transferring the files to hard drive, Cd, or DVD or some other digital media. That is NOT simple
Dunno with other brands but the Canon digi P&S are coming with this piece of software called ZoomBrowser. It offers to download for you the pics in the camera, present them to you as a slideshow, print them, e-mail them to aunt Edna and my gosh it even has a "Backup to CD" button. You click it, it says insert blank CD then voila, it's done.
On the whole, it's much easier, logical and intuitive than editing a number in your mobile phone's memory.
