This company has show continued loss of focus. Its vacillated for
years between film and digital. Only in the last year or so has it had
appreciable success commercially with digital. Its focus on film has
been diminishing for more than 10-20 years. This has been a company
without a successful plan.
It may find a niche somewhere in the future. But the niche it created
has largely been abandoned -- i.e. film dependent photography. I know
it has a high-end focus on digital and some degree of low-end consumer
acceptance. But I think it's missed the upscale "bourgeois" market in
digital which is occupied by Canon, Nikon, and Sony.
