"Investors seek to rewind Kodak" -- WSJ
We were talking about the future of Kodak recently...
The Wall Street Journal reports that a group of large investors is pressuring Kodak to abandon the recently announced plans to shift heavily toward digital technology and products. They contend that film is still going to be profitable for a long time, and there's a lot less competition. Copyright prevents me from actually posting the article, but maybe others have seen it. -- Clear skies, Michael Covington -- www.covingtoninnovations.com Author, Astrophotography for the Amateur and (new) How to Use a Computerized Telescope |

It may be good in the short run. The reality is that the market for film is shrinking rapidly and the market for digital is growing even faster. The long term survivability of Kodak may depend on them shifting their primary focus to digital. -- Keep working millions on welfare depend on you ------------------- |

Who's being negative? I'm the eternal optimist!!! :-) As I've posted many times before there will be film for our cameras as long as making film is profitable. I do believe that if Kodak is going to survive as a company it has to succeed in the digital world. I still believe that film will be around for many years to come. -- Keep working millions on welfare depend on you ------------------- |

: cameras any time soon. Film sales in the US declined 10% in 2002 (this is straight from Kodak's annual report). Decline will probably be 15% in 2003 and accelerating. Kodak can still be a profitable company with declining films sales, but it can't still have 75,000 employees or keep its stock price where it is (even at these lower levels). Merely surviving is not the objective if you happen to be an employee or shareholder. |
