In Honolulu, there is one analog store, Treehouse, with a full case of 35mm and medium format film cameras. However, what once filled these glass cases is now on eBay sold by these stores and are sold online before the foot traffic has a chance to see it in the brick and mortar.

Actually Canon stopped production of their last film camera, the EOS 1V in 2010. They've essentially just announced that their stockpile is now gone.
Although there are rumors that Nikon's F6 has stopped production, as far as I can tell, they are still produced in their Sendai, Japan plant.
And yes, the Leica M-A and MP rangefinders are still in production as are medium and large format cameras by Linhof, Horseman, Arca-Swiss, Cambo, Toyo-View, Wista. Then you've got your Holgas and Lomography plus Fujifilm, Ilford, and Kodak disposable cameras. I don't consider the instant cameras as film cameras, but rather analog.
I don't think analog technology will be completely replaced by digital as long as photography is pursued by artists.
