> Talking silver - photo industry increase usage despite explosion of digital cameras Don't have 2002 numbers yet, but recent photographic demand could only be called flat near the 200moz per year level 95=210.9 96=212.0 97=219.0 98=225.0 99=225.9 00=219.5 01=210.2 The analogy I would make is postal mail versus email. The post office has not gone away but volumes have gone flat while much of the new growth has been in email. Digital photography is not going to eliminate silver use in photography, but could hinder further growth. The flip side is that whle film sales are down the sale of photographic print paper is up (prints from digital cameras)
