I agree it is very sad to see an American Institution like Kodak to go down this way, with a tragic arrogance that the photo-chemical film business will last forever.

Kodak should re-invent its mindset to not be a photo-chemical company, but an Imaging company. Such a company would do whatever it takes to be a player in this New Paradigm and offer extremely competitive products and solutions for the entire Imaging Business. This means extending the business to include electronics and semiconductor R&D. Geee... this sounds like a company I know...Fuji, perhaps? Fuji has it all- great digital cameras, CCD research, digital processing....AND photochemical. It is going to be sad when Fuji makes an offer to buy out Kodak a couple years down the road for a couple bucks per share.

If Kodak doesn't change and change soon, I bet we will see Kodak under Japanese ownership before this decade is over.

A move that could show Kodak means business is to acquire technology to insure a place in digital photography..Kodak could OWN this technology if they bought Sandisk...
