Checking the Canon website and noticed a few changes as they dropped the 30D, XT and all film SLRs except the EOS-1v.
Times, they are a changin' and it will not be long and film cameras will only be in museums.

Middle age is when you can finally afford the things that a young man could truly enjoy.

Computers blur the boundaries... We are being released from the suddenness of photography, the suddenness of the shutterhttp://www.photography-on-the.net …p?p=1606920&postcount=132

Oct 26, 2008 08:55 | #7 cdifoto, while it may be true that no form of art ever becomes extinct the medium used to produce that art may become extinct. Film is one medium that is used to produce photos but there will come a time when it is no longer cost effective to produce film and film cameras will then become museum items. There may also come a time when new technology is developed that will make our current digital cameras obsolete and they will gradually disappear also. Photography as an art form will probably always be around but the method of capturing that image may change. Joe

I haven't seen any information that someone else might pick up the manufacture of it yet. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.
