When I heard Kodak CEO Dan Carp on CNBC, the impression I received is that he and his policy team at Kodak still don't get it. To blame weak conventional film sales on the economy is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand (shale in this area of the Finger Lakes). One key factor in the weakness of conventional film sales is the rapid increase in demand for digital photos by the very segment of photographers who take most amateur photos on which Kodak depends for most of its profits. Computer users with a color printer are prime customers for digital cameras. The fact that making a color print from one's computer can be difficult, as seen by Carp anyhow, reflects Kodak's own difficulty getting a decent, easy to use printer to the market. Carp has a summer cottage only about two miles across the lake from where I live, but the difference in our two outlooks is far greater.
