Ironic that Kodak started the technological change that made it obsolete. They invented the digital camera sensor.

Seems like Kodak tried investing the right area but executed very poorly. Cameras are a great business, just look at how well Nikon or Canon are doing. Cinema digital camera market is just rising by RED and recently Canon. Why a company that started and was leading camera sensor technology, OLED displays, with tons of know how of imaging technology ended up turning into selling cheap point and shoots is beyond me.



They started as a consumer comany, indeed they invented consumer photography with the box brownie. So moving away from that was hard.
