Until digital can give me 36 new sensors for my camera for $3-$10, I'm sticking with film.
Let's see. Perhaps 100,000 images from the sensor — more actually, but let's use that number. A $3000 camera. That's about $.03 per frame....t.

Akshully using your new fangled digital camera as an example (by the way that sort of black magic will never catch on) would cost $3000 per shot, if you care getting a new sensor per shot. So while a roll of film would cost me $10, the equivalent would cost you $108,000.
Quite frankly sensors should be used in the same way as one would with bathroom tissue. Use once and dispose. The thought of re-using a sensor is just unhygienic. Yuck!
I have to admit that I have re-used my film sensors a few times when I have made mutliple exposure shots. I'm not proud of that fact but one occasionally has to suffer for one's art. I did wash very thoroughly afterwards.
