They wanted to keep their existing market highly profitable for as long as they could because so much was invested into it.
[QUOTE=The golden;33110888]Wonder why the didn't jump on-board the digital market when it started to heat up. Even to this day they're still taking their time to keep up with it.[/QUOTE] It's a shame they never really could get a good kick into DSLRs. Fuck... it's a shame many don't use film anymore.
I think I saw the last store Kodak has in my town, it looked sad and lonely..
I remember Kodak setting the standard for film as well as film cameras. Why they never innovated is beyond me
The physical film died 10 years ago. Digital has dominated everything

Did anyone actually get my Civilization V reference? [editline]5th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=aydin690;33124293]Still nothing beats a picture captured on a negative.[/QUOTE] It's the subtle graininess, the mild chromatic aberration that makes the pictures look so natural, nothing like it IMO.

All the chemicals, techniques, tools and time; it is a work of art, a specific skillset. Infact, I have lots of negatives hanging in plastic filer sheets on my walls. Each roll of negatives, a day of memories to remember
