Nay, I say! Kodak's "ship" was a submarine, and it has now resurfaced.

the problem is that nobody wants submarines anymore.

kodak was king of film but film is for all intents, dead.

they may have pioneered digital and had the first dslrs, but they
weren't a market leader, which is why they went bankrupt. their digital
cameras were crap.

Yeah, that same, old myth keeps being regurgitated: "Kodak was slow to
commit to digital photography."

This conveniently omits the fact Kodak was the earliest company to
introduce DSLR's,

it doesn't omit anything nor is what i said a myth.

read what i wrote. i said they pioneered digital and that they also
failed to succeed in the market.

kodak's early slrs were hybrids made by nikon/canon, with additional
kodak electronics. they could never be competitive with that strategy.

kodak then tried again with the 14n and slr/n (which were built from
nikon parts) and the slr/c (which was made by sigma). they were all
horrible and that's being kind.

nikon/canon and other companies made much better slrs for less money.
kodak lost.

and had an extensive line of "EasyShare" P&S models.

easyshare was crap, something i also said.

when a company sells crap that nobody buys, they often go bankrupt.

some companies do manage to succeed by selling crap, but kodak wasn't
one of them. it's also not a very good strategy.

If any outfit is behind the times, it's FujiFilm -- it still has the
word "film" in its very name!

big deal. if that's the only thing they get wrong then they're doing
pretty good.
