The future holds still photography. As one or more other folks here have
pointed out, the various t.v. networks have regularly been running still
photos as part of their news shows - not pixilated captures from video
feeds, but still photos they have gotten from the various wire and photo
services.

Kit,

The highly pixelated, bandwidth starved, video feeds from the imbedded
reporters on the front lines, coupled with digitally modified still
photography has me wondering what the future holds. 

When we get to the point that we have non-interlaced high res video
pouring over the airwaves we won't be bemoaning the death of film any
longer. We'll be saying goodbye to still news photography altogether.
Just pull out a good frame from a high definition video feed, slap it in
a magazine or print it on an inkjet. Or view it on your palm video
tabloid. 

By the time Leica has a digital R, Canon will have a video EOS. 29.97
FPS. And television will be square format, with notches on the left
side.
