I would say it depends on your goals. I needed to go digital to stay competitive. I have a client that regularly calls me at the last minute, and wants the stuff on disk that day or the next. And, they were worth the investment. I've also gotten jobs just because I can provide the quicker turn around. However, if you have the luxury of shooting film, and the wait time of getting it processed and then scanning the images you want, then that route may work for you. I'll tell you though, my slide scanner has sat idle since I switched.
