Digital Cameras certainly have their place, and you'll get no argument
about it.  It is just that an erasable reusable film would have many
advantages digital cameras do not.  It is still the cheapest method to
temporarily (assuming it could be reused) storage method.  When I go on
a shoot, or a long travel, I bring dozens of rolls of film.  To have
that kind of storage with a digital, I have to buy and bring a bunch of
flash mem cards, or a hard drive or a laptop, and a lot of batteries,
and chargers, etc.

Further you can update your image capture technology just by buying a
new roll of film... try to update the MOS or CCD sensor in your digital
camera!

So, if the technology of film could be made reusable, it would bridge
the two worlds.
