They said the same thing about Large Format cameras in the 30's, again in
the 40's, the fifties, the sixties, etc.......... The point being that there
will always be a niche market for high end film cameras.... but Pros need to
make money and they will.have converted to digital; the P+S crowd has moved
or is moving to low-middle-somewhat high end digital... the volume is
certainly going digital.  SO there is an abundance of cheap high end analog
camera up for sale now, and more to come... check Hasselblad prices.. they
have dropped like a rock, and more cameras come up to market each day....

I just can't wait till the Leica stuff gets dumped by the fabulous M7D or
whatever......then I wall be able to afford that camera for my son....
