So I shared this with a friend. He replied that recently he was in a camera store and while he was there three people came in to drop off film for processing. So a market exists.

The challenge for Ricoh will be to come up with something good enough but still cheap enough to compete with the used market.

Whenever I come to Downtown Camera where I get my film processed, I see a few people in digital departments and a line of those dropping off or buying film. Mostly young people, and surprisingly many girls. Yes, the market exists, although not very lucrative. That's why Pentax will start with a less expensive compact camera to test the market.
