in 2 - 3 years at most, the number of in-use cameras globally will be about
even between film and digital. Fuji and Kodak are seeing an annual decrease
of 20% per year in film units sold for the past three years and best case
estimates are for the rate to stay the same and not drop even faster. the
number of people replacing a film camera with another film camera is
negligible. when Kodak and Fuji drop out, what will be left will be small
production factories using old technology and selling no-name brands at
either at very high or very low prices and questionable quality control
since large scale is what makes film so uniform in quality.

And what you probably didn't even think about is that film based cameras
still is the most spread camera type on this planet, by far.
