Data point: in the latest Costco catalog (no, I'm not a member, it's someone
else's), out of their offering of 36 cameras, only *one* is not digital. (It's
a Konica Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR.) Can you say "nails in the coffin"?

DISCLAIMER: I'm no fan of digital. I love "traditional" wet photography. I
love old cameras. But I also try to recognize reality. I rue this trend the
same way I rue the results of the recent election.

In the same time, Sanyo (a big maker for Olympus and Nikon) and Canon reduce their production of
digital cameras because demand is lower than expected ...
