And that once the photo was taken, the film in the camera would need to be "developed" in order to see the actual pictures taken???
Leading up to today (December 30, 2010), the slow demise of film for cameras was inevitable! Today marked the end of the line for anyone in the world who had a roll of Kodachrome film to be developed as the last film processing machine that had to capability to develop that brand of film was officially unplugged for good in Kansas.
The actual Kodachrome film itself had not been made by Kodak since mid-2009. At one time, it was the world's most popular camera film, even being iconically documented by Paul Simon in his 1973 hit song of the same name!
Unless you purchase a "one-time use" camera, almost all of the consumer-based cameras today take digital pictures, obviously not requiring a visit to the photo lab to develop the pictures (however, many still flock to photo labs to have them print their digital photos).
