The new digital camera you just bought, or about to buy will soon be obsolete.
A new break through in chip technology may revelutionize digital camera photography.

where would the money for research be to develop this new chipset?
You will probably have to wait awhile for the price of the cameras with this new chipset to come down to affordable levels anyways. So you're still looking 3 to 5 years down the road. 5 years from now, there will be yet another latest and greatest to wait for. Now you'll be 10 years away....
I'm just buying my first digital camera this Christmas. I'm perfectly happy with using 35mm film. But then, I still use my turntable and play LPs more than I play CDs when listening to music. I also work for a camera company that makes both digital and film cameras. They offered a great employee discount, but the reason I'm buying is FINALLY, they come with printers you just put the camera on and out prints a picture. No PC involved, no taking to a photolab, very simple and convenient to use and very quick. Though I know they're going to clean me out on the consumables (paper and ink).
I'm also fully aware of the current research going on and the patents being filed. The next generation of cameras will surprise a few people.

  Its not worth printing your own pics. Not anymore. Its too cheap to have them done. I personally use Kodak Gallery (used to be Ofoto). Quality is very good. I get my pics in the mail in a couple of days.
  You will go broke if you do your own.

    Agreed.
    I got a Kodak C340 5.1 mp camera and a printer doc for Christmas. The paper and thermal cartridges cost over 50 cents per print. However, calculate that with film, developing and printing, it works out to about the same. Except now I only print the pictures I want.
    BTW....I still like the pictures from my Canon 35mm cameras better. However, like the CD replacing LP, it's kind of neat with the instant gratification of having 4x6 prints almost right away without the need of shooting an entire roll of film.
