The days are numbered for all types of film.  Anyone shoot home movies 
anymore?  You can still get home movie film, I think, but it's a real 
specialty item.  With digital cameras becoming ever cheaper and better, 
film will go the same way.  My guess is within 5 years, film will be hard 
to find.  It's already hard to find slide film.
