Although I'm getting totally off-topic here (again!!), I think it's appropriate
to mention that Kodak is a *film specialist* and has been since the 1880's.
Their ventures into "hardware" have largely been to sell film, right from the
git-go. If I've seemed hard on Kodak, it's because I love 'em (sorta). I have
at least 50 of their cameras. :-)
IMHO, Kodak's ventures into other venues (cameras, projectors, and now Imaging
Systems and Film Scanners), has always been somewhat self-serving and
consequently misdirected, vis-a-vis what they can produce vs. what the Working
Photographer really wants and needs, either as "dedicated amateur" or
professional. This may explain why Leitz, Rollei, Hasselblad, Nikon, Minolta
*et al* do not make film! Whatever. :-)
Advantix, it seems to me, is a perfect example of "over-reaching." It's a
wonderful concept, but they have few "real" cameras to back it up--and
established camera-makers are not *about* to forget 110 and The Disc. Their
digital cameras and systems show similar disregard for important Real-World
concepts.
"And so it goes." :-)
Best regards--LRA
