Kodak invented the digital camera…….in the 1970s. They figured no one would want it as they’d rather have physical pictures. Then in the early 2000s as other companies were launching affordable digital cameras - Kodak invested heavily in new type of film. They tried to launch a digital camera, but it had a higher price point and was already too late. They went from cutting edge tech to behind the times and failed to adapt.
film was a cash cow.....
I have the Kodak P880. It was a great camera. Quite the equal of any other and US made. It has an excellent 24-140 lens. Kodak produced a few others, the P712 for one.
I like actual photos...what will our grand children look at to remember their grandparents...doubt they will find any electronic/digital that still has the pics. I actually save my old phones for the pics...we shall see
