I think maybe this question is too broad.

I think it is better asked in two parts: 1) Is film dead for amateurs? and 2) Is film dead for pros?

I disagree with the popular belief that film is rapidly becoming a hobbiest niche. Just the opposite – I believe that amateurs still using film are hopelessly retro and are not long of this world, and, pros still need the resolution, color, contrast, and artifact control, not to mention medium and large format flexibility, that only film provides.

As technology improves, and some of the inherent limitations of current digital imaging techniques are overcome with breakthroughs, I believe that film will truly die. However, that date with the reaper is still a long way off.
