As digital cameras continue to grow in popularity, there remains a group of committed people who still prefer film.

Sales of digital cameras have taken off as amateur photographers like being able to check their pictures immediately after taking them. They also are attracted by the ease and minimal cost of using their computers to store and exchange photos.
