One of the frustrating things about the digital camera race is that not only
are the digital cameras "obsolete" in a few months, but they are also making
film cameras more or less obsolete at the same time. I think if you are
looking at either one as an investment, rather than a short term tool right
now, you may be disappointed. It is interesting to me to watch the big
change in tone of this list in the last year, for example.
There is no question pictures will continue to be made two years from now,
but by what photographic tools is another question. Makes it difficult to
know what equipment to keep, or buy, if you are price conscious.
