"• As well as the F6 film body and the manual FM10 Nikon will continue to manufacturer and sell the following Interchangeable manual lenses:"doesn't seem like nikon is discontinuing all "analog" cameras..
One nice thing about 35mm is the widespread availability of quality used gear. There's so much equipment already out there that the loss of one manufacturer's output isn't really a big deal. I really like older cameras - it's nice to be able to control everything using actual buttons and levers instead of a mess of on-screen menus.
If this can lower prices and improve quality of digital cameras from them, this is great!They assume that film will not be very profitable, and so instead of having digital carry film along, they put all their resources into digital. Seems smart to me.
I think my photography teacher mustve read this on digg because today he told our class nikon is getting out of the analog camera business yesterday. and I guess (from reading comments) this isn't entirely true. and then he mentioned the google PC as well.
