Story: Kodak stops selling film cameras

First, to the person who says digital photography is taken care of mostly by the computer, that's utterly untrue. You can still be a bad digital photographer. It still takes training and understanding of how to use your camera in order to take a well-shot digital picture.

I disagree, also, that film photography will die out a certain point. While digitial is cheaper and quicker (no cost or wait for development), there will always remain a certain nostalgic and emotional attachment to flim photography. I personally own 2 digital cameras; however, I also own 3 standard 35mm film cameras that I use just as often as my digitals.

Even regardless of connections to film or otherwise, simply check price markets on cameras. I paid maybe $25 a piece for each of the flim cameras. I paid over $200 for the digital. How many people do you know that can spare $25 to spend on a camera? Now how many people do you know that can spare $200? There are even one-use cameras that are perhaps $7. How many more people then do you know that can spare $7? Price still plays a major role in camera sales. Film cameras aren't totally down and out yet.
