exactly. you can still buy a brand new Nikon FM2, which is in production
for around 20 years now. My Canon camera of the same vintage is still doing
well. My flatbed is OK, so many of video, audio, etc. I have just retired
my 8 years old 486/100 (in my son's bedroom). There are millions of owners
of cameras, not many will fork more money to buy a camera that has very
little advantage.
How many years ago did we see the first digital (consumer) camera?
Digital photography will be just a little bit bigger success that the ASP,
but by a narrow margin :-{). Unless we can get a decent copy directly onto
a photographic paper, inkjets are dead-end street, cost wise and on
technical performance.
Also,recommend checking stats regarding a number of digital cameras
returned due to unsatisfactory results.
