35mm v flash: The cost of 36 exposure 35mm color film plus film processing is less expensive than, say, a 32 mb flash card, but not much less. If you get prints with the film processing, then the cost would be greater, especially if some of the photos aren't worth printing. If you are using color negative film, it's going to be difficult to judge your photos without making prints, so in the end, you would likely be better off with digital.
The moment you delete digital images and reuse the card for additional shots, you are then paying less for digital. In my own case, I take roughly 500 photos a year, of which maybe 200 are worth keeping, and only 50 or so get printed. I've cut my photo costs drastically by switching to digital, and then I've eaten up all the savings by buying a higher resolution digital camera. Ah, progress!
