I imagine this is what they wrote when they came out with the 35mm format. digital is in its infancy, everyone understands that. to predict its death now is ridiculous. what will they say when standard digital is a 50mp sensor with 20 stops of tolerance and 1 tb (terabyte) cards cost $25? granted currently there are issues that still need to be worked out, but that what all these companies are working on currently.
about printers. HP recently invested $900,000,000 in redeveloping their printer technology. they are not making any of that back when i buy a 5550 for $99. they do however make plenty of money when i buy a cartridge for $35. keep in mind that if the cartridges did not subsidize the printer it would probably cost in the thousands.
