I'm not sure what will happen to the price of film and film labs, but when
in America do prices go down?
A member of a photography class I fascilitate was showing us his new Canon
20D. He's had it about two months and has taken over 1,000 photographs
with it.
It seems to me that if film/labs get more expensive, by forcing students in
my class to use film (most have film cameras somewhere in their closets)
they would think more about what they are photographing and thereby learn
more.
I'm trying to get students away from
I've-got-a-new-expensive-digital-camera-therefore-I-am-a-photographer way
of thinking to an I-put-thought-into-my-photographs way of thinking.
One can always hope.

Marilyn,
I guess this means film's going to get really expensive and mini-labs
scarcer sooner. BTW the one I go to has been for sale for a year.

Couldn't find anything about new Fuji film cameras. They have a new
line of interesting digitals.

>From another photo list:
Konica Minolta plans to stop production of cameras at the end of
March. They will sell digital SLR division to Sony, and shut down
film, paper, minilab and film camera business.
(On the other hand, Fujifilm is supposed to release a few new film
cameras in 2006...)
