the end of APS

As a surprise to nobody, Kodak will stop making Advanced Photo System cameras. Let's see: "Let's replace 110 with a format that uses about the same film area, sell the users that it's cool because you can crop that at picture taking time, and introduce it at just about the time that we can see that digital will be overtaking film in half a decade." APS was a bad idea at a bad time. It's brilliant management decisions like this that have put Kodak where it is today.
