there is your business case study


and cheap overseas products is not an excuse, they had NAFTA and were
making consumer digital cameras in Mexico


other than the dslr hybrids which cost more than a car and were
basically a technology demo more than a commercially viable product,
kodak's digital cameras were *horrible*.

it doesn't matter where they were made (nobody really cares). they were
basically junk.

i remember trying one of them at a trade show, and to change the
shutter speed or aperture, you had to wade through *four* levels of
menus (no joke). who the hell thought that was a good idea?
