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.
