Digital cameras, due to their nature can interface with computers- this allows a greater range of freedom in both data transportation and the art of photography, but sometimes leaves a large swath of artifacting or other unwanted residue (Red eyes with flash, fuzzy images in certain lighting, though these sorts of things are in vogue, depending on the style of photography or art you wish to create.)
Film cameras utilize film- which, is generally fairly pricey, however it's far better at capturing subtle details and color contrasts.
TL;DR-
DIGITAL CAMERAS
-Require Batteries/Charging
-Grants modern data transfer, allows for easy editing.
FILM CAMERAS
-Require no batteries/charging, requires film.
-Better subtle details, lighting, color, and produces higher resolutions.
My advice? Stick with the digital, get a nice USB stick and or SD card reader for data transferral... It's easier and cheaper than scanning physical film.
