Actually, Kodak has made some very high-end camera both for still and motion film in addition to consumer level products in both film and digital... Follow this link to some of their newer pro products: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/researchDevelopment/productFeatures/DCSProSL RCameras.shtml Kodak still has one of the world's largest private R&D labs and is well respected enough that ALL major camera mfgs, including Canon Nikon Mamiya Hasselblad do a lot of their design testing at the Rochester lab. Kodak clearly "know from cameras"at consumer and pro levels. With the market quickly moving away from film (please don't take my Kodachrome away!) Kodak will be a major force... The survival of this billion$ photo behemoth depends on it BTW for those of you looking around check out kodak's Mac software for digital photography at: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/hub/proShots/products/studioBasi cs/studioBasicsIndex.jhtml As for HP they were the first to intro a digital Camera back in 1988/89 and having used several of them, I've found them to be very robust and reliable. _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/Pages/joinus.html Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
