Kodak has announced that it will stop making reloadable 35mm film cameras citing
the rising popularity of digital photography.

It's also giving up on APS.

Kodak says consumer film sales have fallen off 24% in past quarters.

Reloadable film cameras are still being developed for "emerging markets" in
China, India, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
