Cool beans. Though in regard to the idea of someone "still" investing in film R&D, I think one thing most "film is going to be gone next year!!" type people forget is that for 80% of the world, computers are a luxury they can scarce afford, for personal use. Maybe there's one in the library, but not one at home. Heck, even for a lot of people in the States computers and digital cameras are a far-off cry. When the computer is dirt cheap, the camera is dirt cheap, and they hook up easily and quickly, then maybe they'll go to film. In the meanwhile, though, for the billions of people for whom a film camera is the only choice, and paying attention to the millions of existing film cameras out there, I think we'll see film for a long while to come. On the other hand, that new Kodak 16mp sure do sound sweet. :) Tom
