Antonio, I'm afraid that would be wishful thinking. The AVERAGE consumers are switching to digital in droves. I've been working at a local minilab for only about 90 days so far, but we're selling 10-20 digital cameras for every film camera. We're also seeing an increase in digital printing that is the same price, or less if printing 50 or more images, as prints from film. I would also guess that 60-70 percent of our film developing is from one time use cameras. Unfortunately, it is this user that supports film, not those of us who are photographic enthusiasts.
