yes when I used to shoot film you would have to plan the shot around how much unexposed film you had left ! and you ended up with loads of cans of short ends at the end of the shoot ! I have a garage full of them rotting away ! so digital is a luxury so many people are unaware of and take for granted!! Don't forget you where stuck with one ASA film speed at a time - if you had say 5274 Vison 200T in the camera you couldn't just switch ISO like we do now on each scene!

The main luxury of digital for me is that I can carry 10 memory cards in a shirt pocket and not pay for processing costs. 29 minute continuous clip is merely a bonus and if I were shooting an event I'd have more than one camera, because who wants to look at one shot for an hour straight? The 29 min limit is of zero concern to me, but I do think the tax law in Europe is a complete ass.

Yes because 12 minute per reel was unacceptable in Hollywood for the last 60 years :rolleyes:
