limtex, End of an era: Flash - Eastman Kodak (EK 27.36 +1.01): Smith Barney notes that EK unit sales declined -17% YoY during the 4-week period ended June 12, with weakness most pronounced in roll film (-23%). Against a backdrop of below-plan volume trends, firm notes that pricing declines steepened in the latest period, perhaps suggesting retailers trying to prop up demand into key summer season. With unit film sales declining fully 18% YTD, firm sees EK's projections for 10-12% decline in U.S. film in 2004 as too optimistic.

Lim, I can see the end of film but an end to cameras in exchange for cell phones is a bit far fetched. I personally can't see any of my Pro photographer friends doing hi fashion shoots with cell phone camera any time soon. Unless they put an 11 meg chip in a cell phone it just won't happen and if they do are you ready to spend $4000 on your next QCOM phone? Plus no zoom or exchangeable lenses, cell phone cameras are far to limited for the pro market IMHO. Clean
