OK: So they only deny they will stop selling film compact cameras in Japan. However, they're not denying a stop to the development of new film cameras.
However, I supposed we were not discussing the precise nature of what make and kind of equipment is going to be discontinued and when. I suspect we were discussing the trend and how quick it is. Also, I don't suppose next week you won't be able to buy film. My opinion is that film range will be reduced and cost will raise more and more as its production runs will decrease (over the next years, not before this coming midnight). As long as film will be sold in substantial quantities worldwide, manufacturers will continue making it. That's the same with tripods, VHS tapes, jeans, apples and oranges.
