The design of a stereo film camera places some constraints on the pictures that make it hard to screw up the mounting. For example, unless you have some really unique mechanical malfunctions, you can assume that both sides of the pair are parallel with each other. Once you start digitizing the images, you have the opportunity to introduce all kinds of problems like having one side slightly higher than the other, having one or both sides rotated slightly from perfectly parallel alignment, having inconsistent color balance between the sides, etc. At this point, mounting the film is faster for me. And besides, unless you have really high end equipment (which I don't), it's really hard to match the image quality of slide film on a scan.

I can't argue with that. What I would really like is a matched pair of digital cameras wired to fire in sync.
