Default Future Safe ? :- Batteries for Hasselblad 503CW & Minolta Maxxum 7xi

Hi ,

I have made the switch to digital photography Panasonic Lumxix TZ3 &
Sony a-900 a while ago but I wanted to know how long will it be before
medium format film production and the batteries for the Hasselblad and
the Minolta Maxxum 7xi is stopped ?

Do people think these cameras will still be working in 20-30 years
i.e. will parts be available like batteries .

Thanks for any help in advance

No piece of electronic equipment will be worth anything in "20 to 30 years."
By then your digital camera will be nothing more than a curiosity for a
museum. Get your use out of it now, and plan on upgrading within 5 years or
less......
