The installed base of fine 35mm and MF and LF cameras is gigantic. The photographic skills of DSLR users are not noticably superior, may not be equal, to film users. Litho and inkjet reproduction is the quality bottleneck, not the cameras. For this reason existing prosumer DSLRs are plenty for most commercial applications. Grain is not universally considered a bad thing..DSLR users spend money and labor to create it. Some photography benefits by promiscuous snapping, other photography is accomplished by deliberate use in which a digital file or 6X6 film serves equally efficiently. IMO it's likely that Epson's new scanners will breathe new life into MF if the performance exceeds 4990 even somewhat... if Epson's new scanners DO rekindle enthusiasm for 120 film it will prolong availability.
