One of the problems I find is that with digital, I won't have my "bad
sessions".. Which is probably what improves my photography the most..
I sit down with my photo album and ask "What could I have done to make
this a better picture?" Composition, lighting, where did I meter, etc..
The sessions teach me quite a bit..
I had 2 of those sessions with my gf, and her pics have VASTLY improved,
from P&P (Point and Pray) to actually producing decent pics.. She
didn't think so, until we all got together to show our pics and she
compared them to her friends.. WOW! What a difference..
I do like the immediate feedback of digital though..
I am waiting for when I can afford both (I have to pick one right now)
because the Digital would be a great previewer for the MF.. Once I get
the shot down in the digital, then I take it with the MF.. That would
be great... Probably the great mutual benefit that I will head towards.

I suppose you might, but it isn't likely. It is easier to shoot a photo
correctly than to spend time going through the menu to look at what you
just shot. I think it might make the learning curve better if you can
see immediately what your mistakes were so you can correct them. I
found it helpful though, this summer, to look at the image just to see
if the placement of lights was correct for the portraits I was
shooting. The lights had to be adjusted for a single person and then a
family group. Since we did not have a flash meter, we could take a peek
at the first shot, adjust, then shoot away.
You make a valid point about deleting all the "bad" ones. Sometimes I
will keep a "bad" photo only to find later that I like it. And, even
bad photos tell us something about the location, culture, etc. that
someone, years later may find informative. Only, now it won't be there.
