I think the very high ends will be dropped, i.e., the F5 and the EOS-1v. The top end
for Nikon and Canon film bodies will be the Elan 7 or N80 (Maybe F100). The high end
market, whether pro or serious amateur, is digital now.
In addition, no one wants to even announce a new high end film body

Most of these posts are making reasonable arguments. The problem is we
are trying to distinguish between a 1-2 vs. 4-5 year time scale, and
this is sufficiently tight prediction that it's hard to know which
argument will prevail. I think it is safe to say that high end film
SLRs will be gone in

I must have better eyes than you do. It is however the second worst
"modern" viewfinder I've used. The worst
being on a Digital Rebal. The owners of that camera must thank God that
it has auto focusing. If it didn't you probably
couldn't take a photo in dim lighting.
