Is APS dead?

Just curious, since sales of standard 35mm film are plummeting, sales of
APS film and cameras should be very low by now. Anybody has some
statistics?

I'm sure its on its way to join 126, 110 and those silly little
disc cameras. I did miss the 127 format for a while after its demise,
even though there weren't many good camera made for it.

I think Kodak and the other film companies stopped making APS cameras
and film at least two years ago. I imagine that if you google for "APS
photography" you can find information on this subject.

Is Kodak still making any kind of film cameras these days?

Hello Alfred.

Boots still sell 200ASA APS print film.
I have Canon and Minolta APS SLR bodies and will continue to use them until
the film isn't available.
The Minolta goes with me on a daily basis; the Canon will be in my gadget
bag with my 350D.

BTW - did you also post to rec.photo.equipment.aps?

Best wishes, Ian.

Nope, because it's actually not so important. I was just curious.

Whether it is important or not, it has very little to do with
rec.photo.digital

Hello, Sally:

Only the disposable variety, I believe.


Cordially,
John Turco <jtur@concentric.net>

Greetings Sally,

Kodak continues to offer Single Use cameras in the 35mm format and, of
course, APS film as well. You should be able to find APS film in most chain
or drug stores. For more on film camera types etc. go to the following URL.
If you have a particular need I will try to help as well.

Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company

APS was dead at the moment of a release.
It was the biggest con job by few big companies. They promised but
failed to deliver anything exept the simplest cameras. What a waste of
money. They were 10 years too late.

Kodak repeated the same trick with 126, 110, Disc and APS.

All of them are gone and forgotten. 135 still lasts.
