The Fall of the World’s Biggest Camera Company
Eastman Kodak was once one of the most powerful companies in the world. For over 100 years, Kodak dominated photography and became part of everyday life. The phrase “Kodak moment” became famous worldwide, and the company controlled almost the entire film and camera industry. But everything changed when digital photography arrived. What makes Kodak’s story so shocking is that the company actually invented the first digital camera in 1975. Instead of fully embracing the future, Kodak tried to protect its film business for too long while competitors like Sony, Canon, and Fujifilm moved ahead. As digital cameras replaced film, Kodak slowly lost its dominance, leading to massive financial losses and bankruptcy in 2012. In this video from Collapse Files, we explore the complete rise and fall of Eastman Kodak, including the invention of digital photography, Kodak’s biggest business mistakes, its bankruptcy, failed comeback attempts, and the lessons businesses can learn from its collapse.
