Andrew Hetherington at Focus on Imaging: "So the problem now is this: I have about 100 rolls of slide film in my freezer. By the time they are gone I need to have figured out how to afford a camera that costs more than most cars. If any of you can swing me a few jobs for Chanel or Prada I promise you now that I will lend you the camera when I get it."

"While Kodak suffers, its long-time rival Fujifilm is doing rather well. The two firms have much in common." "Both firms saw their traditional business rendered obsolete. But whereas Kodak has so far failed to adapt adequately, Fujifilm has transformed itself into a solidly profitable business, with a market capitalisation, even after a rough year, of some $12.6 billion to Kodak’s $220m. Why did these two firms fare so differently?" Interesting stuff on the death of film (and why seeing the end coming can't always save you from it).

"Like the passing of distinguished individuals, the passing of great corporations should prompt us to ponder the transience of earthly glory. So let's pay our respects to Eastman Kodak, which at this writing appears to be a shutter-click from extinction."
