Some would still argue that vinyl is still superior in sound quality to cd's. Somehow I don't think that wedding photographers will ditch the film just yet.

same thing with professional musicians using vacuum tube amps instead of transistor based ones.
 
Another company just killed their non digital line of cameras and film/paper production.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Konica Minolta Holdings Inc. (4902.T) said on Thursday it would withdraw from the camera and color film businesses, marking the end to one of the best known brands in the photography world.

As part of the surprise move, Konica Minolta said it would sell a portion of its digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera assets to Sony Corp. (6758.T) for an undisclosed sum and cease production of compact cameras by March.

The company said it would stop making photographic film and color paper by March 2007, pulling out of a market shrinking more than 20 percent a year due to the spread of digital cameras, which don't use film to store images.

The world's third-largest maker of camera film after Eastman Kodak (NYSE:EK - news) and Fuji Photo Film Co. (4901.T) had said in November that it would slash its loss-making camera and film operations, but not completely shut them down.

So sad in my opinion.
