    There downfall was that they where the first to bring out a digital camera, but due to them thinking that would be the death nail of 35mm kept it in the closet.

      Agree, but I find it sad as they have things named after them and were a brand of my childhood!

          Possibly a bit brutal, but that is business in the world we live in. You either adapt to changes and new consumer needs, or go out of business.

            Having said that they did realise that printer cartridges are way to expensive and brought out printers with cheaper refills had they invested a bit more on the design of those printers that could have saved them.

            Many consumers did not adapt to this purely because they did not like the look of the printers had they been more appealing it could have been different

                      This may sound harsh but lets not forget all these mega-companies that are now folding have (for many a year) enjoyed total dominance in the market and put plenty of smaller retailers out of jobs and lets not even discuss their annual bonus'.

                      I actually prefer lots of smaller firms than one big firm. However for obvious reasons it's currently cheaper to go to the likes of Tesco et al, but if there was no Tesco, then what?

                      Worth pondering - childhood memories consisted of Gateway, CoOp, Spar, Presto & Safeway.....

                        Niddy,

                        Kodak was a company that failed to keep pace with technology, and thus this is what happens.

                        Loved Kodak in it's early days, but the latter years there products have been shite.

                          exactly......they did try to keep up but always outpriced themselves

                          even the kodak die hards started to jump ship eventually

                            Sad to see another household name go. When I did serious photography only Kodak professional film would do. I remember hearing maybe 2 years ago that they were pulling out of traditional film and photographic processing in favour of Digital technology.

                            Looks like they left it too late as their range of Cameras and Printers were never going to be good enough to compete.
