Kodak kills Kodachrome film after 74 years | Technology | Reuters:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Kodachrome, the film brand touted as the stuff of memories, is about to become a memory itself as Eastman Kodak stops production due to overwhelming competition from digital cameras.

Eastman Kodak Co said it will retire Kodachrome color film this year, ending its 74-year run after a dramatic decline in sales.

My parents are HUGELY into film, and even they are making the jump to digital. It's also nice if the Kid wants to take 800 pictures of everything @ the zoo, it costs only the electricity to recharge the camera, not 26 rolls of film, as you stated earlier. Keep the good ones, delete the ones that look like they were taken by a 6 year old: the giraffe's knee, the ground, the left side of Mommy's head...

It's sad to see another thing from my childhood going away, but if there's just not enough demand anymore, it's no longer a viable product.
