With some perspective, it seems to me that the world market is large enough 
to sustain high volume film production indefinitely that will keep prices 
competitive with commercial digital printing. Kodak assured me that film R&D 
goes 
on uninterrupted. For a lot of folks, like my sister, digital is 
will-o-the-wisp. She just can't get hold of something as invisible and 
non-tangible as an 
image file. 

I've come to appreciate film and digital and use them both where each fits 
into the picture. Life doesn't get much better than that!
