- Although Eastman Kodak has primarily dealt with photographic products, it has at various times ventured into other areas, such as batteries, photocopiers, medical imaging, and chemicals. While many of these ventures failed, the chemical division, headquartered in Kingsport, TN, was successful enough to be spun off in ["1994"], and is today a thriving company and one of the world's leading sources of polymeric materials.	+ Although Eastman Kodak has primarily dealt with photographic products, it has ventured into other areas, such as batteries, photocopiers, medical imaging and chemicals.

- '''Eastman Kodak''' was a big company started by ["George Eastman"] that was the basis of the Rochester economy for many years, until the digital camera made Kodak's consumer film products obsolete.	+ '''Eastman Kodak''', referred to colloquially as "Kodak," is a large multinational corporation founded in Rochester by ["George Eastman"], with corporate headquarters in downtown Rochester, near High Falls. Kodak also maintains research facilities and some manufacturing in Kodak Park, near the City of Rochester-Greece Border on Lake Ave and Ridge Road, and other locations throughout the area.

	+ Eastman Kodak has primarily dealt with photographic products, but has, in the past expanded into other areas, such as batteries, photocopiers, medical imaging, and chemicals. While many of these ventures failed, the chemical divison, headquarted in Kingsport, TN, was successful enough to be spun off in 1994, and is today a thriving company and one of the world's leading sources of polymeric materials. + + Kodak has also seen many other failures in its history, including + * an attempt to market an instant photography system in the 1980s, which was stopped by a patent infringement suit filed by the Polariod Company + * Disc film, a replacement to the very popular Instamatic 110 camera line, but was unsuccessful, probably due to the complexity of the film system, and the very small negetive size + * APS (Advanced Photo System), designed to provide a more user-friendly system for snapshot photography. A joint effort between many large photographic companies, it failed due to the rapid growth of the digital imaging market. + + It has been said that Eastman Kodak also failed to realize the potential of the digital imaging boom in the late 1990s. This is somewhat true, as Kodak did not begin to market digital cameras until the market was fairly established. However, Kodak has become the #1 seller of digital cameras in the United States, with 24% of the market share[[FootNote(http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050817/BUSINESS/508170306&SearchID=73217849565425)]].
