>>Its EasyShare cameras clicked with consumers over the holidays, but can that success lift profits?<< The trouble with Kodak's strategy is that Kodak doesn't make any of the principal components for its new cameras. The cameras themselves are made by Chinon, the CCD is no longer made by Kodak. The flash card is made by someone else. Unlike film, where Kodak at least makes the film and sells processing chemicals and paper, the only part of digital photography where Kodak is trying to develop a market is in services for emailing, printing, and storing images online. This is not the kind of approach that leads to big profits. Small ones, yes, but for big ones, you need a dominant position in manufacturing at least some of the components. Art

Bruno, I haven't tried every paper made by everyone who sells paper but my current recommendations for Inkjet printers are: Everyday: Hammermill JetPrint Photo: KODAK (buy KODAK's best in your category) I have tried at least 20 different "everyday" papers and Hammermill JetPrint beats them all. A lot of this depends upon your printer and inks but Hammermill consistently dries faster and is "smoother" than the others. Re: Me & KODAK. I hate KODAK's management so I don't own a share. When and if they fire a few of those aging dolts, I'd buy the stock in a "New York minute". And, when I say "aging dolts", that comes from a man who isn't "young" by any standard. Craig.
