You know, if the dopes at Kodak would have started selling digital cameras that reproduced the Kodachrome look, they would be still in business. Maybe a digital Kodachrome camera/printer system that could have saved them.

From reading some of the others on this thread that had dealt with Kodaks corporate structure, I bet the idea never crossed their minds.

One of my brother’s B-school assignments was to come up with a product pitch to a semi-local company (he went to Cornell). His group was assigned Kodak, and the group basically suggested they move into digital photography, and backed it up with market research data and technology innovation data.

Kodak literally laughed at them. I think it was around 1995 or 1996.

I’ll have to share this story with him.

Actually their Z990 Max does offer hues in Kodachrome and Ektachrome. But as far as digital, the Kodak P880 bridge camera takes absolutely gorgeous pics. It's dated, only 8MPs, and it's reaction speed makes it a poor fast movement camera, but boy are its land and seascapes beautiful, and with a dedicated flash a great indoor camera.

I really miss film though. I long to take out my Canon T70 and just shoot some K64. Getting older rots.
