    Ech, my goof, I specifically meant the digital cameras. USA Today, Eastman Kodak fights for its future, "Perez early this year said 2011 would be a tough year as it scaled back its stagnant digital camera business, focusing just on profitable models and markets, and the company's traditional film business continued to shrivel."

    PMA Newsline, Kodak reaffirms plan to complete transformation by 2012

    There was another article which I've tried to find, but I think it was in the Rochester Democrat and Herald, and I can't find it in their archives. It was about what was actually profitable on the digital side within Kodak, and the digital cameras were singled out for their non-performance.

    Any idea if this means Kodak might reverse their decision on discontinuations or "special orders"?

    I'm glad they're dropping the digital stuff that was sucking money away from film. It's a good step.

    Kodak will do that when the market picks up! The only way for Kodak to offer the product as a regularly stocked item is when there are so many special orders that it becomes sensible for the product to be stocked.

    That's all there is to it.

    It's like driving cars in the age of hovercrafts and complaining about the availability of tires and gasoline.

    8x10 just isn't especially popular any longer.
