One of the giants of the photography world has killed off its last film camera.
Canon has revealed it is ending sale of the EOS-1v, the last remaining model of film camera that the company sells.
The Japanese giant began commercial sales of its first film camera, known as the Hansa Canon, in 1936.
The news comes days after Leica revealed it was stopping sales of its M7, a hugely popular film camera - although it still sells two other models.

Twenty years ago I came back from Turkey with over 70 rolls of film to be developed. After that I switched to digital, and never went back to film. I print out the pictures I want to keep on a good-quality inkjet printer. Everything is under my control. Some of my slides from SEA, taken back in the '60s, have faded to complete transparency. As my son (a NASA engineer) says, "bits don't fade." However, the format may become obsolete.

I ran a film department for Walmart when the transition from film to digital was happening. While I like the ease of digital, I think there are some things film picks up that digital doesn’t and vice versa.

I’ve been playing with digital cameras and Photoshop since 1995, and both have come a long way. Still, it’s wrong to say that digital photography is superior to film in every way. For instance, no program, filter, or Photoshop routine can duplicate the swirling grain of Tri-X pushed to ASA 1000.

If you are I can get a list of what he has. I know he has several lenses and a motor drive and other stuff.

Film captures the beauty and nuance of light like no digital can. Light is often even more important than tremendous detail, unless you are doing a science project.
