The infrastructure for getting a print from digital is far less than that needed to get a print from color film.<<< That's right, you don't need a computer to use a digital camera. But it's very hard to handle and store digital images without access to a computer. And how are you going to charge the camera batteries if there isn�t any electricity available? >>>Mark Roberts wrote: I'm sure he did think about it, but realized that it was irrelevant when both film manufacturing and use are in precipitous decline. Film manufacturing volume is determined by how much film people actually *use*, not the number of cameras available for them to use it in!<<< Most people on this planet live in the third world. They may be poor, but they are many. And they use cameras and take photographs too, mostly with film cameras. So I don't think the film is dead. The film manufactures will certainly be forced to lower their production and minimize their organisations because of lesser needs for film in the future. But I personally think that the need for film will exist for many years to come. Perhaps even other manufactures will rise (in the third world) which specialises on producing film in a lesser scale. Well, this is my opinion. I don�t force you too agree whit me, which you probably won't. /Joakim --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
