I have to agree with Derek Gee's comments. Economics will undoutably drive
the future of film.
I'm confident film will survive, but in what formats and how readily
available remains to be seen. Digital will most certainly capture the
snapshot market in the not too distant future. That's not to say that those
of us with a greater involvement in photography won't have materials
available to us. Consider 4x5 film and cameras. These are strictly
low-volume items for the professional and serious (and wealthy) hobbist, yet
cameras and film continue to be made in this format. Perhaps 35mm film will
one day be a similarly marginalized, but it will still be with us for many
years to come.
