Canon to drop Film Cameras

You mean there are companies out there that are producing film cameras still, other than the disposable ones? It seems so, but the number of film camera producers might lose another in its ranks to the digital world as Canon considers dropping their development of new compact and SLR film cameras.

They will continue to support and sell existing models while keeping tabs on the marketplace for further efforts to withdraw from the film market sometime in the future.

Earlier this year, Nikon said something along the same lines, as the film camera market is shrinking fast as digital adoption continues, and thus with a smaller market is less profit.
