I don't know why they didn't develop it any further unless Nikon was not interested in further cooperation with Kodak because the introduced their own digital cameras. But Kodak definitely made a lot of mistakes, as did many other companies, by not realizing how much of a steamroller digital photography was to become. They tried to hold on to their film business too long and even though they had a rather sophisticated research and development branch for their digital sensors, that ultimately was not able to save the rest of the company. The Kodak we knew definitely died, and the remnants of the company are virtually unknown.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-23587179890339438772016-05-25T11:55:45.023-05:002016-05-25T11:55:45.023-05:00It seems that after the centennial in 1980 Kodak w...It seems that after the centennial in 1980 Kodak went steadily downhill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
