Default Pro and Con of Digital Cameras vs. Film

Can anyone help me with this list?

Pro - digital camorders are better at:
cheaper "film"... just delete poor shots with no money wasted
"film" (flash memory) is smaller than a roll of film, easy to load and swap
instant review on a built in LCD screen
performance for the camera size/weight is great


Con - film cameras and SLRs are better at:
film has more latitude (working range of bright to dark)
flexibility of grain vs. low-light sensitivity based on film speed
able to better do long exposures & very low-light shots
battery life

Film rarely has "defects" and if so WILL be replaced.

Digital Cameras often do have a handful of "allowed" pixel defects which are just accepted as inevitable and "tolerated" at the current state of technology in producing the image sensors.

On the other hand, I think digitized images are a bit more robust going through security checks and xrays over exposed but undeveloped film.
