It is cutting jobs in its digital sector and moving them to Japan. It appears that digital it the thing ... but no one knows how to make money out of it. The paradigm isn't the same. I expect that consumers are so volatile that it is hard to figure out how they are going to spend their money. It's not enough that they spend it on digital cameras, because that is just a one-time (or less frequent at least) outlay of cash. They haven't figured out how to get that recurrent cash flow that film had. So yes, film is in trouble, but digital hasn't figured out what to do about it. I've been shooting Fomapan 400 and ADOX 400 (= Ilford) this week. Just checking the playing field.
