Now, as most of you know, I put quotes related to "I heard it from a rep..." in the same category as fortunes in fortune cookies, but people seem to be big fans of them anyway. So, I got this from the Nikon list (which can take a lickin' but keep on tickin' - sorry Doug):
"FYI, I went to a talk by a Canon Professional Sales Rep and she told us that the current top of the line Cannon film camera was the last Professional camera from Canon to use film. She also said that a new Rebel camera to be released shortly would be the last film camera in this segment of the market. She said that Canon's digital cameras are selling much faster than film cameras and that their plant is going 24X7 to meet demand."
