Well I certainly agree that film will be around for a long time, I just think that since progress in digital will be much faster than progress in film, at some point the price benefit curves will cross and customers will rush to digital. And there are some minor differences in the way the two look but this becomes a matter of what you are used to seeing. Personally, I have a several high quality SLR around the house and haven't been convinced that I should convert to digital, but I know that at some point (probably within 5 years) I will be buying my digital camera. Since I'm LTB&H, I'm willing to invest a bit too early ( now if I could just cure myself of the habit of selling too late).
Since images, like beauty, are valid only in the eye of the beholder, we could both be right in our evaluation of digital cameras. In any case, my comments were directed toward low cost low skill photography. At the upper end film is a lot better for most users.
Concerning rotating memory - I thought that it would have vanished by now, but the scientific skills of the disk makers at producing better and better products has proved me wrong. Little spinning disks are still an anachronism, fragile moving parts in a world of electrons, but it looks like they will be with us for a long time. But the first place they vanish will be in portable devices.
