I'm not sure if its a big contributing factor, but prices for film stuff are very high now. Ten years ago you could get an olympus stylus epic with the prime lens for like $25 dollars, now I see examples on ebay going for $300. These digital cameras are the new $25 old camera now. It's also not cheap to buy and develop a roll of film, compared to buying a cf card reader.
