: Go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart and see if you can find a roll of 110, 126, or Kodak disk film. In a few years you will have the same problem finding APS. The only advantage that APS might have is easier loading. The new 35mm cameras of today are nearly as easy to load as an APS camera, so that throws that argument out also. APS just doesn't make sense anymore. 35mm has a larger negative, more types available, cheaper processing, more speeds available, and lower cost per roll.
: I feel sorry for those who went out and bought expensive APS SLR cameras and lenses. I can still buy film for my 30 year old Minolta SRT, and it will probably be available 30 years from now.
Actually, I have seen 110 film available just about everywhere (photo stores, supermarkets, Wal Mart), along with Kodak's 110 camera (Star?).
I know Disc has been discontinued, but I haven't seen 126 around in years.
The camera companies seem to be offering new APS models, so I would guess that APS will be around for many years to come.
