    The problem with Kodak is because of their Chief Executive Antonio Perez. He called digital cameras a "crappy business" and dumped the Kodak cameras even though they made a profit.

    Even if there was not enough profit on the cameras, at least it gave the company some market profile. It seems to be an accounting decision rather than a market strategy decision.
