I wasn't worried about more than a few years ahead, honestly. I read recently somewhere quite recently in fact that they are still making cheapo cameras for the 110 film, so it (perhaps) won't dry up that immediately.
I suppose these days, you have almost as much control (aperture etc) over a manual digicam as such a simple slr - although am not sure that p&s lenses always go down to f2.8 (research required...).

I see. So more cool gadget value that interesting piece of kit value... ?

Yeah, you see, I know what you mean. It's the convenience thing, plus the desire to actually be able to stand a chance of getting the shot.
Part of me is really waiting for a camera company to release a camera with a phone in it, though, rather than a phone with a rubbish camera stuck inside.
I can't deny that part of my POV is that as a student, there's a difference between spending £25 on ebay and getting a bargain camera to play with, and spending £150 for a P&S digicam to do basically the same thing. Just casually considering it all, y'know.
