Canon discontinues the EOS-1v, their last film camera


 
Canon Japan officially announced that the Canon EOS-1v is now discontinued. This was Canon's last film camera. The EOS-1v will be available for sale at retailers until their inventory is gone.

Nikon still lists their F6 film camera on their website but all three major US stores (B&H, Adorama, Amazon) are currently out of stock. I will not be surprised if the F6 will also be discontinued soon.
