Erhm..? I beg do differ.. :P it is exactly in the high iso department I prefer digital over film?
That's true with DSLR's. Not with compacts, which are at best poor at moderate ISO's (200+). The compacts I mention (XA, Yashica T4) are smaller than a Canon G10, but offer better optics and also better high ISO performance than a G10.

But 800 rolls of provia is several years shooting for most people shooting film (it's about 4 years of shooting for me).
Most people shoot a lot more frames with digital than with film.
I don't. I try to shoot digital the same way I shot film. Using alternative lenses also helps me to slow down.
Like you, 800 rolls is about 4 years of shooting. Then think about it, you would basically have the camera for free, sell it for 3500-4000$, and upgrade to the next 1Ds/Dx body that have a life cycle of 3 years anyway.
This said, I truly love film results and believe film is still light years ahead of digital because what is important for me is the end result, the final print. It's all about the look and film look is great. But for practical considerations, I would rather shoot digital.
