Film is dead. Let's face reality. Once the majority stop buying a product like now, companies won't invest in manufacturing them or developing new models.

Why is it so hard for some of you to accept reality?

The guy I was talking to teaches photography at a local university and he was showing me his portfolio all shot in digital and it looked better than film output.
Correct sir. I like how the article says hey you can get a film camera cheaper, but doesn't say you have to buy and develop film for the rest of your fucking life, like that shit is free. Oh I saved $100 on my camera, now I only have to buy new film rolls every 30 pictures, then pay to develop it, then pay to have digital files made from it, then hey a few days after I shot something on my camera that cost me $100 less I finally have pics on my computer that I can use.
