>That's what the current full-frame sensors in the Canon 1Ds & Kodak 14N are. I want it cheap too ;-) What I find really interesting and hard to predict is how film will continue at this point. I agree that R&D money will be cut severely and that the number of available emulsions will plummet. In the end though, I think it will be profitable to produce film for quite a while, although the [rice may rise as it becomes a "niche" item mainly for specialized professionals and hobbyists. In the end, the availability and price of processing may be the limiting factor. This latter point may actually mean that B&W film may have a longer life then color since the latter can be home processed. The interesting question is will we notice big changes in 5, 10 or 25 years?
