I think people were waiting for the technology to slow down a bit (as in,
why buy a 3 megapixel Canon when a 4 megapixel Canon will be out in a few
months) and the prices to stabilize (go down) a bit. Nikon and Minolta seem
to be coming out with a major new digital every year, with Minolta just
released an image stabilized camera. With the economy in a slump, many of us
are just waiting for the best digital camera for the money to arrive.

I'm waiting anxiously for the new Sony, Pentax, and Olympus digitals to hit
the market. The die-hard folks on the Street Photography forum are
digitizing. I'll bet even Ted will move to digital when the right camera for
his kind of available dark work is produced. Like the digital back for a
Leica R.

I think film will complement digital, not the other way around. If that
seems like I'm using doubletalk, I think that the primary emphasis will be
on digital.

For the last four years I've been hearing that digital will replace film. It

hasn't happened. Digital will complement film. That's the message.
