I read that Kodak have become bankrupt. The reason probably has something to do with not doing digital, suing the shit out of Polariod which was the first instant chemical photo to protect there film business model many years ago.
Latest thinking by the geniuses in charge at Kodak was to sue mobile phone makers. The courts being busy with everybody else suing everybody else in the mobile industry told Kodak to sod off and wait six months late to the party again……
This is what surprises me about Kodak is they did not sue the mobile telecom firms. I looked at mobile phone price list once and discovered that to send a picture cost 0.30 of a currency unit.
So have people stopped taking photographs. Here in the zoo i can assure you no. But not on or with Kodak products. Amazingly i can not buy an antique kodak camera from a charity shop (my blog). There too old.
In the early 1990′s bananas saw some early digital cameras not on the market to buy but for testing. Back then they had issues with red over say the professionals camera the hasselblad. Those issues where fixed a long time ago
I am sure Kodak would have preferred that digital photography never should have existed. Suppressing change as Kodak did never seems to work and thats a failure that Kodak management have to admit. Humorously years after the world has colour printers with photographic ink all Kodak could come up with was a another inkjet printer, I have usb ports but they have things in them already and not Kodak and i read had a quality worse than Epson printers.
If Kodak wish to become another sco-x let them, after all just look at Darl Mcbride.
