Subject: Kodak and the end of filmDate: 2012-02-09 13:02:23From: timo_puhakka
Interesting note. Kodak is shedding it's digital camera business but has retained film sales for commercial purposes, and, under a separate division, for consumers. If film was a money loser, this would be the time to discontinue it.

From the article:
"The commercial segment will include the graphic communications group and take on the entertainment imaging and commercial film businesses.
The consumer business will include the consumer digital imaging group as well as businesses from the old film and photofinishing unit."
The news of the death of film has been greatly exaggerated.
