i dont know this for a fact, but one of my best friends is a rather
high end photographer who does fashion and hes plugged into the whole
digital thing with nikon. hes told me a couple of times that nikon is
working on something that will make film cameras totally and
completely, and finally, obsolete.

Even on a shooting mission in the middle of Greenland or the forests
of Belize?

even there...

How?
I can't really fathom how a digital camera can keep working with
flat batteries. OK, I know about miniature fuel cells and microsized
gas turbines but nothing that offers you months of useful power.

Solar? Wind? Large external battery packs? Generator?

What about reading about that guy that walked through the thickest
jungles of Africa? His story was published a year or two ago
in National Geographic's magazine. I don't remember the name
of the guy but look for something called "Megatransec" or some
such. It is clear from the pictures that there isn't much light
and no wind at the forest floor and hauling extra large
batteries or a generator... well, you try it first.

ways. It's also a lot easier to carry an entire darkroom
with you where ever you go.

Why do you have to do that? I bring my rolls of film home
for development.
