@Michelle: Thanks for this link Digital and traditional photography are very different and I think (or I wanna think) that the traditional photography has some years of life yet. But the digital photo is rising very quickly. The new cameras, well, the Canon 1Ds, for the moment, are an anticipation of how the digital can replace the traditional. Of course, for the photojournalists, the Canon 1D with 4Mpx is enough for their work; with eight photos/sec. they don't need rolls anymore. Also the 11 Mpx of the Canon 1Ds or the digital backs for the Hasselblad H1 are enough for publicity and Pros. And for the familiar use all the digitals are good. If we consider 4 big sectors of photographers: photojournalist, pros, family and artist. Only the artists and the National Geographic will use the rolls. Also in the group of the artist the digital photography is every time more usual. How many years yet? Are enough the artist to support this industry? Tetenal, Acutol, Aculux will be soon names of explosive cocktails.
