> What's the truth about film cameras?
Digital out sold film cameras in the US in 2002 IF you discount disposeable
cameras ( A LOT of disposeable cameras are sold each year)
How could business into film cameras just go away with a still huge
market?
It won't just go away. You can still buy 127 film, a format that has not been
made since the 1960's. What will go away is the huge number of choices we have
and the easy availability of film and processing (eventually).
Film cameras are to stay strong for the next 5 years, after that what will
happen to my fort knots collection of Oly gear?
The value may dop, p[erhaps dramatically (think what happened to the price of
MOST movie cameras after camcorders really took off. Sure Bolex and Arriflex
are still worth money but a Chinon? $5 MAYBE)
On the other hand your OM gear will still produce the same quality photos and
because the price difference is no the smae magnitude as moves (1980 $ 3 mins
movie film and processing $20. 1990 2 hours of tape $5 or less and reuseable at
that)
It's like a car with no gas with out film!
If you are truly losing sleep at night go buy a ton of your favorite film and
fill up a freezer. Frozen film does age but ages very slowly.
Very worried and not ready to give up to digital.
