Digital camera revolution

OK, the revolution's over. Digital has won.

We weren't early adopters. In fact, we're probably early wannabes in everything, but too cheap to buy technology until it is widely accepted.

We got our fist digital camera three years ago. And it has totally changed the way we handle photos.

In that relatively short span of time, it's amazing to hear that companies are totally abandoning the film camera market.

"First, there's the astonishing collapse of the film camera market. By some tallies, 92 percent of all cameras sold are now digital. Big-name camera companies are either exiting the film camera business ( Kodak, Nikon) or exiting the camera business altogether (Konica Minolta). Film photography is rapidly becoming a special-interest niche."
