Re: Film is dead, no one will bring out a new 35mm film camera

[Bill Owens]

I'm not sure about this.  We've been running a survey at the Wally World 
where I work in the Photo Center.  Since September 1,we've sold 1 P&S film 
camera and 27 digital cameras.  Probably close to 50% of our film processing 
is from one time use cameras.  Digital processing via our kiosk is 
increasing daily.

That's assuming they can sell a couple of thousand. This is a bizarre

Well both Pentax and apparently Nikon, think theres still healthy sales to 
be had in high-end film cameras.
