Pentax quitting the film camera business? - Engadget - www.engadget.com Imaging Resource reports on some news items which appeared on the website of Pentax’s Russian distributor that indicate that Pentax is quitting the film camera business (well, apart from medium format cameras) to focus entirely on digital cameras. It could be that the move is limited only to the Russian market, which is why it hasn’t been announced anywhere else, but c’mon, with sales of regular film cameras flat or falling, you know it’s only a matter of time until all of the big five (which besides Pentax also includes Canon, Konica Minolta, Nikon, and Olympus) kill their consumer film camera lines in favor of digital, leaving film the domain of the professional.
