Film is obselete?

Hi, I am thinking of getting a film SLR camera for Christmas this year
and I was kind of worried that maybe soon people won't be selling film
or developing film any more. Is there any chance of the price of film
skyrocketing and the price of developing film skyrocketing?
The guy at the store told me that the only difference now that digital
out is that there isn't as much variety different of film available
anymore. He told me that film costs the same.
Thanks,
Andrew

None of my cameras have to have a battery to operate the shutter, one has
one for a light meter and that's all.

Well you did not put a time frame on when film would skyrocket in price
but most likely it will not in the next few years at least, and then
should be enough time to get some good use out of the camera.
You might want to think about what body to get which an eye that
sometime in the future you might get a digital body and it would sure
be nice to get one where you could still use the same lenses. If it
was me I would look at getting either a Canon or Nikon body as both of
these will likely still be major players in the DLSR market for years
to come.

Modern film cameras don't work without batteries either.
I have to admit that running out of batteries is a serious risk with
digital cameras. But I tend to run out of film with film cameras. :-(

Many people are saying that digital is going to take over completely. At
present I have never seen a digital camera that can take a time exposure of
three or four minutes and if one does exist, I have never heard of one that
can do it without batteries. If you want to do this with film cameras, old
Pentaxes, Nikons, Canons and Minoltas to name a few will do this easily.
Then if we are talking medium format, Hasselblads, Mamiyas, Rollei's and a
hundred others will do it. Now if you want to go to large format, Wista's,
Horseman, Wisner and a bunch will do this. You might say who needs this?
Film photographers do. Digital photographers have no need for this. That
is why there will be film photography and if there isn't photography, has
taken a step backwards. Ric in Wisconsin.

That's OK, because in a months time all doorstops will turn back into
rolls of film... ;-)
