Why not? Sheesh, this stuff is not fragile. The first digital camera I owned, bought in 1997, is still working perfectly. It's the camera module sold for a Palm Vx. The Canon 10D I sold a couple months ago is dates from the beginning of 2003 years old, nearly five years old, the batteries are plentiful, and it worked still like it was brand new with 40,000 exposures on the clock. It will certainly work fine for its new owner for another five years.
In 8 years you might not be able to buy film. Regardless of that, you'd be MUCH more likely to be able to process a set of digital captures from a couple of different cameras to all have the same white balance and rendering then you would 8 years worth of different batches of film, and with much less effort. Think about it.
