I heard on the local news, last night, that Canon is going to
discontinue its final film camera (a 35mm model).

Yet another nail in films's coffin?

It was an expensive pro camera so no, film won't die on it's account.

it's already dead.

But
Leica junked the M7, Voigtlander dumped a couple. However, there are 100
million old working film cameras out there.

nearly all of which are not used.

they sit on a shelf, while their owners use smartphones to take photos.

My phone can take pictures? Son of a gun, so it can... Meanwhile, I
just spent a couple of hundred bucks to have my Nikon F100 body tuned
up.
