Most likely they will. However, at what cost? There is a thriving market
for this when it occurs and it will not be us. It will be high end users
willing to spend fortunes for good digital cameras. Breakthroughs will
need to be made. In the meantime, we have that in film. We do not have to
spend a fortune for high quality.

Then there is the issue of prints and Transparencies, and how to display
the images from these future cameras. No printer I have seen can compare
to film. A few come close, but that's it.
