Cost, of course, is an issue. Digital cameras are still more expensive than their traditional brethren. Another drawback is storage of your images. You'll need space on your hard drive or a removable cartridge to keep the files. If you're on the road, you'll either need transportable storage media or a regular connection to the Internet so you can download your images.
Traditional photographs are still eaiser to store and display in an album.
