Hi Everyone,
Re digital, I think the last big bite in the consumer wallet will be the
marketing of Full Frame 35mm digitals at the end of this year. We film people
know all about FF because we use it all the time. So what else is new? Canon
got the drop on Nikon et al with their 5D FF, which folks are crazy about,
particularly pro's.
If R&D people inside or outside Kodak could deliver film that is easy and fast
to develop and print, digital will not monopolize photography. Kodak has been
sleeping on this front for almost 100 years. They got a rude awakening.

I think this would the sort of stuff that would disappear if somebody
did a leveraged buyout of the film division. That plus any products that
din't make money. I'm sure Kodak still has the odd item that isn't cash flow
positive.

Supposedly digital camera sales **dropped** 3% last year. Look at things
like
the Nikon D40 or the Pentax 100[Or is it 110?]. They're being forced to drop
prices. I can't see a big push for digital R&D. The market has already
matured. The big question is how much damage will the non-camera cameras
cause? Cellphone cameras,video cameras etc. Many people find those good
enough still cameras. Camera sales weren't robust prior to digital. All
digital did was create an new cycle that may already be over.
