Nikon to pull out of the analogue market!

I've always been a big Nikon-fan... I started digital photography on a Coolpix, and I currently own both a Coolpix 5700 and a D2x; but I've never actually owned a film-based Nikon. However - I think that not making film-based cameras are sort of a worst-case scenario..

Not that I believe that Nikon sells a hell of a lot of film-based cameras. No doubt is the digital market more lucrative. But you cannot kill photography!

Yes, it's part nostalgia, that I defend analogue photography to such a degree; but not even a D2x give the same photographic feeling as the good old film-based... It's a lot more practical, but it doesn't feel the same...

Same goes for the iPod. It's increadible practical. But you cannot beat the quality of the lp! (I wouldn't bring a grammophone on the bus, though...) Same with computers... Monkey Island 2, anyone?

Now - I can already see what's going to happen - Nikon, Kodak, Canon and all of the other major players will go digital-only. And when they do... When they think all is won and well... Then... Then Pentax will come along; and introduce the most amazing analogue, ever; and revolutionize the world!!!

...or maybe not...
