I'm not even sure that we can economically produce 24x36 CCDs. An 8x10-inch CCD seems implausible. Some other method of image capture will probably be necessary. Currently, there is no other method, so film will rule in that realm until some sort of breakthrough occurs. > How many of the current crop of digital cameras do you > suppose it will be a pleasure to see in a junk shop > in thirty years time?
