They should have jumped into the digital photography trend hard...


...as soon as it hit the market, as well as diversify into other areas while they still had a huge income stream from owning their market.

Reminds me of the quartz watches. Believe that was invented in Switzerland, but they didn't want to pursue that technology. The Japanese jumped on it, and the rest is history. Eventually the Swiss decided they could also cash in on the technology, but not after companies like Seiko carved out a huge chunk of the market. Now their watches barely cross into competition with the Swiss watch makers...
