Fujifilm kept gaining market share, and in the mid-1990s a price war between Kodak and Fuji broke out in the United States. In the meantime, Kodak’s previously stable and solid film business became increasingly vulnerable. It is often difficult for large firms to bother with small markets and small profits, but Kodak nevertheless made these efforts in the 1990s. It looked like a pair of binoculars, stored 32 photos, and could be connected to a personal computer.īut the limited performance and the high price tag of such cameras (the QuickTake cost about $800 and a high-end digital news camera ran $15,000) meant that the market for digital photography was very small, almost insignificant for a multibillion-dollar company like Kodak. The company introduced the first megapixel sensor in 1986, and the QuickTake camera launched by Apple in 1994 had to a large extent been developed by Kodak.

In fact, the first electronic camera using a charge-coupled device was invented by a Kodak engineer named Steven Sasson in 1975, and Kodak in many ways led early development in digital photography. Kodak also invested extensively in research and development. First in class: Kodak created a new consumer market for photography with packaged film and inexpensive cameras like the $1 Brownie (shown), first introduced in 1900. Each “Kodak moment” was money in the bank.

Kodak enjoyed tremendously high gross profit margins. The company had low production costs and few competitors, and back then people had no choice but to buy film in order to take photos. Kodak owned most parts of the supply chain needless to say, control over basic research, raw materials, and film finishing further increased barriers to entry. The large and complex process of operating a film business required a high degree of vertical integration. ee Top Level Domain WHOIS server Domain: name: nooredkooli.ee status: ok (paid and in zone) registered: 05:27:15 +03:00 changed: 12:00:04 +03:00 expire: outzone: delete: Registrant: name: SA Noored Kooli org id: 90009312 country: EE email: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS changed: 12:00:04 +03:00 Administrative contact: name: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS email: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS changed: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS Technical contact: name: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS email: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS changed: Not Disclosed - Visit for webbased WHOIS Registrar: name: Zone Media OÜ url: phone: +372 6886886 changed: 18:23:09 +02:00 Name servers: nserver: nserver: nserver: ns. changed: 22:10:05 +03:00 Estonia.
