Nikon discontinues most film cameras...

[another view]

I know this would usually go in News and Rumors, but I thought this was a pretty big deal. Nikon is discontinuing all of their film cameras except the F6 and FM10. Not that I'm really surprised given the price of used film cameras like F5's for $500, etc...

I feel a great disturbance in the force.

Wow...that is something. At least they came out with a new generation film camera before they pulled the plug. I tried a F6, and it's by far the best film 35mm camera around.

If this is true, then I better buy extra data storage and use up all of my film.

Yeah, this made it onto Slashdot. Now all the "experts" and zealots are coming out of the wood-work to say that digital photography isn't real photography. I don't even think I would be able to find all those posts and correct all the zealots.
