while their cameras never competed with the Nikons and Canons of the world, one can certainly shed a tear when we see the current line of $79 Kodak Easy Share cameras, in place of the old-time racks of Kodachrome and Kodacolor film. Certainly a company that lost its way, or got overtaken while it stood still, in its line of cameras and film.

and how about those wonderful old Polaroid cameras!! Who can remember the miracle of seeing a decent color photo in three minutes!!
