At least to the point that there won't be anywhere near as much R&D put into it as there was in the heyday of the medium. Digital imaging offers far to many advantages to all involved for it to not really take off. As film sales volumes go down, there will be less incentive for companies to put R&D money into the medium, especially when they need to be putting it into sensor technology. William Robb
