Without taking into account computer upgrades and software cost the you
could shoot
250 rolls of Color film with processing, (assuming a $12/roll for film
and processing)
for the cost of the $3000.00 DSLR. Assume shooting 1 roll a week on
average you're
talking about 5 years to make that money back. If you have to change
systems and get
all new lenses you are looking at a break even time that gets much
longer.Economics isn't
the reason to buy the camera. Add in printing costs and it makes even
less sense.
There are other reasons to change to a DSLR. But money isn't one of
them. Not for most people that is.

Uh, why would people using $800-$1200 DSLRs and people using film
cameras so naturally go for a $3000 DSLR?
Because they could save as much again on film, processing (and maybe even
printing) costs?
