Default Yet more evidence of the dominance of digital/demise of darkroom?

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 ...

If you want lots of agreement you could post it in rec.photodigital where it probably
belongs, since this in fact is rec"darkroom" for which unless you have the shades
drawn does not apply to digital photography.

I would argue the little tiny space between the lens and the CCD on a
digital camera "is" a wee tiny little darkroom. Yes, this is
rec.photo.darkroom but nowhere does it have to say "traditional" whatever
that means.

Good grief. I can see why people leave this place in droves. Last time I
checked my darkroom was loaded full of digital equipment, timers,
densitometers, color computers all 20 years old the most recent addition is
a computer. Yawn. So long everybody.
