be in five years.
Maybe Ebay.
I agree here as well.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really sick and tired of all
this digital snarkiness.
I'm also waiting for the day when a modern digital video camera-- and face it,
that's what it is, video -- will physically last as long as the most average
Super 8 or 16 one, let alone 35mm.
And when they don't-- which they won't-- will their discardability and
obsolescence then be seen as a philosophical virtue? Probably.Pacific Daylight
