Doom days ahead for film!

Did you know:

1. Nikon announced in January that it plans to cease film camera production.
2. Konica Minolta sold all Minolta camera patents etc. to Sony and withdrew from the camera market.
3. In 2004 Kodak announced it would stop selling film cameras in the US.
4. Quoted in the press: "The supplies and materials necessary to process film will become more and more expensive. Shooting film may be cost prohibitive."
5. Also in the press: "Many professionals confess that they only shoot film when a client requires it."

Who will survive in the digital professional marketplace? Nikon and Canon.

Change your ways film lovers. The end is near. Sell your film cameras on ebay ASAP...right, Rick?
