Answer: I do not think so, and that wasn�t my point. I do think that there is going to be a need for film for many years to come. And the reason for that is that only 5 percent of all people on this planet have a computer and access to the Internet. And what you probably didn�t even think about is that film based cameras still is the most spread camera type on this planet, by far. /Joakim -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Rob Studdert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 14 december 2004 15:06 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: SV: The film is dead On 14 Dec 2004 at 13:49, Joakim Johansson wrote: > If we think about it for a second, it may strike us that the digital > revolution is nothing but an easy summer breeze.

I think you'll find that low end (but capable) digital cameras will very quickly become more cost effective than film cameras and all film but those destined for a for few niche markets will die out.
