Film vs Digital cost comparison

Now that my istD is on its last few weeks as my main camera, I was thinking about costs per picture. I came up with the following: I paid about $1200 for the istD in 2004. Plus, say, $200 in memory cards (I think it was a bit more). I'm not going to count any of the lenses I bought during this tim

I agree with Graywolf's post. It simply doesn't make sense to enlarge both images so that the magnifications are equivalent. If that were the case, then one could use the same lens on 35mm and 4x5 film and then claim that there is no difference between the two. The same comparison could also be
