Nature photog here. I'm currently shooting about 95 % digital, the rest slide film. For me the big trade off is my increased time vs the improved control of the output with digital. If you're not going larger than a 13" x 19" print, you can get away with a 6mp camera capture. If you're consistantly needing larger than that, a scanned slide/neg is the way to go. With digital, I do a quick review after the shoot (to delted the obvious) followed by a more detailed computer editing @ home before I save.
I think the extra time involvement with digital (at least in my case) is sometimes overlooked.

Doing more and interesting work. Prefer the full digital photography route. Sold nearly all my film cameras .. a few hangin' about for sentimental reasons. Only you can decide what you want to do.
