Are film cameras ( i.e. Nikon, Canon etc. ) production going to be phased out and vanish from the market?

Film camera's will continue to survive as a niche market.

Nikon has already stopped making all film models except the F6 and one entry level model and smaller brands are struggeling for survival or being bought up (Sony bought Konica-Minolta, Leica is partnering with Panasonic, etc.).

35mm film cameras still have their use however and will be around for some time yet.

Most of the film camera manufactures have already given a date for the production loss of the typical film camera's. Most of the low end film camera's will soon no longer be. The top of the line film camera's will still be available though. Konica Minolta has already sold there camera unit to Sony. Film being next, again most have given a date for there stop production of films, again only professional level films being available after wards and from professional suppliers to boot and you guessed it, only in bulk. The digital revolution has put a hurt on the camera industry as a whole. You might want to look into box camera's and do your own plates, or go digital. Good Luck and happy shooting.

Film will be around for a while. Digicams are great, (there are all I shoot right now) but they can't match film for resolution. Especially once you get into medium and large format cameras. Even 35mm is better resolution than the high end slrs. For normal people, film will probably get pretty rare, but it will be around for years to come in for the artistic side of photography.

not completely, but they will become rare. also, most wet labs are becoming obsolete, therefore major companies have stopped making supplies for them, which is a bummer to those who process their own film.
