Even at ISO's over 1600 you will get some fabulous images with little grain and very nice shadow detail(more with the Canon at 3200). If archival digital storage is not you cup of tea, you can have the digital files output back onto film. With that said, current Fuji emulsions for sure and probably Kodak's E-6 emulsions have a life in excess of 100 years with decent storage. If any of our work is still wanted in 100 years then someone else can figure out how to store it.
