I don't think we all agree. Slides are hanging on, but by percentage it is
much smaller than prints. I routinely produce slide shows using one of
those LCD projectors. The average viewer is more than happy with the
quality. I believe that projection of slides is near the end of it's life,
because of the ability to project through the computer.
I think that film in general, whether slide or print will be given a run for
it's money and will eventually not be as widespread or cheap because of the
digital revolution.

Subject: Slides vs digital
I think we all agree that print film will soon go the way of vinyl records
as digital prints are now 'photo quality'. The average snap-shooter will be
more than happy to make the change especially as they will immediately be
able to view and manipulate their photos on a computer. Slide film, on the
other hand, will hang in there a little longer. As far as I know digital
technology has no answer to slides. Does anyone know if digital technology
can produce high resolution slides that can be projected? (and I don't mean
via one of those projection TV systems).
Slides are my main source of pleasure in photography and a pleasure I
reserve for travel and adventure photography. Then when I'm home I can
re-live and share the experience with others. In principle I guess I would
be happy to change to digital if: 1) I could use my old lenses and
attachments and 2) digital slides of equal quality became available.
