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
