Given the dominance of digital imaging in everything from cameras in smart phones to commercial image making, it sure seems film has been relegated to a specialty niche. Will film continue to slowly spiral downward to near zero or will there come a time when film will make a return?

What is happening reminds me very much of what happened to vinyl phonograph recordings. When digital audio appeared on the market, it displaced vinyl phonograph recordings very rapidly. Recently there has been a resurgence in vinyl phonograph recordings. Will there be a time in the future when film might make a significant return or has digital imaging, instant gratification, post process image control and ease of image making taken over completely and from this time forward?
