That's the most ridiculous part of the whole Nikon statement: They don't give a time frame for any of it. Saying "We're going to eventually stop making film cameras - someday" is a bit like a weather forecaster saying "It's going to rain - eventually." Well, yes it is. Duh. Without a timeframe it isn't a prediction so much as a statement of the obvious. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
