I'm not THAT cynical. There must be litterally billions of images out there someone may want to digitize; particularly if the whole imaging industry will go digital (something I'm sure it will at some stage). Then only images in digital form will be accepted for any use. Hence, there will be huge market for scanners regardless of what happens with digital cameras. I also doubt that scanner will compete much or at all, with digital cameras as there are other reasons for digital than simply not having to scan your images. P�l
