(snip...) thanks for the stats. i am also curious as to where these stats 
were pulled.
one thing that should be noted here, (even if these numbers are slightly 
stilted),is that 35mm film will most likely be in demand for some time. maybe 
this might end the unnecessary debate of the extinction of 35mm film. (just 
mho...)

I wonder if the above numbers were changed to actual dollar
sales, how the numbers would stack up. For example although
at first glance it looks like 35mm film cameras are on top, in
total dollars spend, it might be camcorders or God forbid
digital cameras!?! ;-)

Also if they included single use 35 film cameras in the above
figures, that would skew the results a bit too, to put it mildly.
