I think we need a consistant clear defintion of the word obsolete before this thread gets out of hand.
In my opinion 35mm Film Cameras/Film are not yet obsolete because DSLRs that can match them on every possible aspect do not even exist yet and the ones getting close still cost several thousand dollars and up which is reasonable for a pro but not for the average amateur or hobbist. This is not to say the current low cost DSLRS arent worth getting or using though, they already have a place but that doesn't mean 35mm film cameras are obsolete though IMHO. JCO
