I envisage quite the contrary. I expect that 67 film cameras will remain due to the fact that 35mm DSLR bodies with 12MP+ resolution will be difficult to differentiate in quality to 645 film. The only real advantage to go to medium format film will be in the 67 or larger roll fill format range. I believe that affordable digital image sensors will take a long time to become adopted in this area if ever.
