Nikon Sunsets Film Cameras

This should come as no surprise.

Nikon Corp., which helped popularize the 35mm camera five decades ago, will stop making most of its film cameras to concentrate on digital models.

The Japanese company said it would discontinue seven film-camera models, leaving in production only the current top-line model, the F6, and a low-end manual-focus model, the FM10.

It will also stop making most of its manual-focus lenses.

Products will be discontinued when stocks run out. Except for maybe some selected applications, I guess we can expect the end of photographic film too.
