Digital cameras are slowly phasing out analog. In still cameras the situation seems to be so that the manufacturers of the films are stopping to manufacture well known film types. For example Polaroid has phased out Polaroid film years ago and Kodak is retiring iconic Kodachrome film. Digital photography winds the once-iconic color films into obscurity. To celebrate the Kodachrome film’s retirement, Kodak has created an online gallery of some of Kodachrome’s best shots. Before the film has fully retired it might be also a good idea to take a look at the Chemistry of Photography.
Kodak’s travails provide multiple lessons
Markets and technologies that once looked as though they would last forever sometimes do not.

The lesson is that disruptive technologies truly are so, and most companies can’t—or shouldn’t—make that transition. In the electronics world, for example, only a few vendors of vacuum tubes made it into the transistor world, and only a few of the transistor companies made it into ICs. Such is change.
Not that long ago, the commentary-and-pundit class was worried—and fearful—that, as we entered the 21st century, IBM and its PCs running on Intel CPUs with Microsoft Windows operating systems would dominate. So where are we now, smart folks? IBM is out of the PC business, and both Intel and Microsoft, though still major players, face tough competition in both CPUs and operating systems for new smartphones, tablets, and embedded products

Why Polaroid Was the Apple of Its Time
http://www.wired.com/design/2012/10/instant-the-story-of-polaroid/
It’s easy to forget now, but instant camera maker Polaroid once matched the mythos — and ubiquity — of Apple. Much like Steve Jobs, founder Edwin Land was single-minded in his determination to create unique products with a strong affinity for design. For Jobs, Land was an all-time hero.
In the new book Instant: The Story of Polaroid, New York senior editor Christopher Bonanos traces the dramatic rise and near-collapse of one of America’s most iconic companies.
Wired Design caught up with Bonanos to discuss Lands’ lasting influence, Polaroid’s legal battles and business woes, and a comparison with the favorite photo sharing service of today, Instagram.
