For the time being I'm useing a film slr camera, and takeing into consideration the problems with RAW format I'm not very sure about switching to dslr for serious photography, I'll get a cheap point and shot for every day use and stick with my old camera for "real work".

unless you shoot only B&W or Kodachrome and very carefully store your originals, the lifespan of clasic analog originals isn't all that great as well, so the digital is not so bad compared to that...

Fabian, don't let these problems put you off.
These problems are thought-provoking, but not stoppers. I am personally confident that all my Raw files will have a long life, either in their current format (DNG) or via conversions that I will have plenty of time to plan.
I don't know for sure what the long term position will be, but we will have one, as a result of OpenRAW and other initiatives.
(I have 5 35mm SLRs, but now use a dSLR almost exclusively).
