Kodak Lagging in Digital World

Posted by michael on from the times-they-are-a-changin' dept.

mattmcal writes "Wired reports on the Kodak's struggle to survive and Mark Glaser comments on their demise at The Industry Standard saying that Kodak failed to take digital photography seriously, or at least failed to find a way to successfully transform their business. The Photo Marketing Association reported that in 2003, digital cameras outsold analog. Kodak's stock has been hovering near its 20-year low. Finally, today, the Asian Business Times reports that billionaire Carl Icahn sold all his shares saying the current business model there doesn't work."

    Kodak not doing so hot in the digital camera business?
    GREAT!
    I hope they will discontinue their digital cameras soon so I can find a digital for cheap!

    this is completely opposite that every authorized canon dealer has told me. and I trust them much more than a random slashdot person.

    Can you point me to anytihng that supports your claim? no a one line tag on a flyer is not enough. I want a statement that says (Yes! it's 100% compatable with this line of lenses guarenteed!)

    I cant find such a statement and absolutely nobody, including a canon rep will make that statement.
