Film vs. Digital   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #144342 of 147843 |
Thought you folks might like to know.

2003:
first year that Digital cameras outsold film cameras.

2007:
the number of digital cameras and phones in the world surpassed 1 BILLION
and fewer than 10% of all still images were captured on film.


Wonder what I should do with my still in the box Maxxum 7 now?????

Happy trails,
Bill B. (USA)
