Hi Gang
As someone who has already went to Canon digital, and has been hunting
for good Canon film bodies to supplement my kit there on Ebay, I can
tell you the competition is hot and heavy for used Canon film bodies.
The EOS 1 (xx) series cameras are totally hot items to have to bid on
and ahem, pricey. This leaves me with the feeling that consumers still
want film and find film useful, but it is all about positioning oneself
around a system that has a future. Canon's future in the digital world
seems secure thus far, and thus of course the following I speak of. I
offer this thinking not on a Pentax list to rub anyones nose in it, but
in reference to where 35mm film is today. I never sold my Pentax
equipment though as it was my first love, besides I have to have keys to
get on this list right? I still have some of my Minolta equipment, but
now am selling it off slowly piece by piece until it is gone.
Konica-Minolta closing up shop sure could be a door open for Pentax &
Samsung. However to grab this market share they are going to have to
hop because Sony taking over Minolta could prove to be big. I really
would like to see Pentax keep putting out good cameras and make some
money at it. Sure I defected to Canon, but I still love my pz-1p and,
ahem. way too many others.

For all practical purposes, SLR 35mm is pretty much the realm of one
manufacturer -- Canon.
