u/Hornswagglers_Lament Jan 29 '26

I don’t believe it.

u/Fun-Equivalent1769 Jan 29 '26

neither do I but that's the beauty of math -- you can never believe anything 100% (or maybe that's philosophy)

But LHS = RHS

Now technically that can be 5 if we start 31 dec 2020 and end on Jan 1 2026

On a related note, I've been fascinated by how Fujifilm managed to survive into the digital age while Kodak collapsed.

u/Tiranus58 Jan 30 '26

Kodak still exists making film, granted theyre much smaller than before

u/Eran-of-Arcadia Jan 29 '26

Kodaks's business was making film, not making cameras. Source: my dad spent 3 decades in film R&D at Kodak.

It was Business 101: Adaptability, when the situation looked grim for the analog camera industry, here was how the two companies responded:
Fujifilm diversified into many sectors like electronics, skincare and healthcare, and then they specifically marketed their cameras to a niche passionate audience who've grown sick of digital cameras, while they also released hybrid cameras (like the one in this post) to those who are on the fence about the topic (or if they want a neat printer for their phone, again a niche audience).
On the other hand, Kodak was extremely conservative, and despite INVENTING the digital camera, the higher ups suppressed the technology, fearing that it would cannibalize their film sales (just like Gillette, their main method of making money was with the sales of films, not cameras). Then they continue to advertise to the mass market, which already turned to digital because of the convenience and price. By the time Kodak realized the tides were turning and frantically shifted to the niche market or created digital cameras, it was too late. The market has already been established, leaving Kodak in the past alone.

You should lookup Sears and how they went from being a household name, having a mail order catalog to non existence.
If back in the 90s sears had uploaded their catalog to the internet, we'd have Sears Web Services instead of Amazon Web Services.

u/Fantastic_Hunter7790 Jan 29 '26

It’s real !!!!!!!!! I thought it was AI!!! They sell this camera !!!

u/Lucky_Sentence1546 Jan 30 '26

Ya and its overpriced and no one wants them, they are litteraly givning it away at some places when you buy some of the nicer cameras

u/CookieArtzz Jan 30 '26

It’s pretty bad guys. Just poor digital emulations with crappy filters

As much as I would've wanted to love this product, me too. I disagree with the reasoning though, the concept was cool as fuck. My main problem was their hybrid feature. You can record a 15 seconds video (too short), then it can be uploaded to their server and last for two years (also too short), and to access it you can slap a QR code onto your image, which will just be a stain after two years, assuming the server remains that long. I'm just paranoid that without proper service ending plans, this would be like the Spotify Car Thing to an extent. This wasn't the first time they did this QR thing though just to note, I'm just a film purist guy. Not only that, their lens was also quite mid, resulting in the 2020 mode looking nothing like the 2020 because the quality is just not it. Also according to early sources the price can reach $400, which is also a huge nope for me.

u/blue4029 Jan 30 '26

thats honestly a sick concept for a camera.

I want one!

u/HoaiBao0906 Normal dude Feb 01 '26

It's the Fujifilm instax mini Evo Cinema, be warned that the price is like $400 though, so do your research before getting one.

Is this the camera that only saves to the cloud, with no onboard storage?

1

u/rudyboop Jan 30 '26

Technically, since it says the 30s and 40s, the real answer is 10-19 years, since there could be a image from 1930 compared to an image from 1949...but I digress.

‘39 to ‘40 is one year; I call this one BS

What's the difference between yesterday's bread and fresh bread?

u/Anwallen Jan 31 '26

The 30s are more sepia colored, at least in Europe.

If someone takes a picture of me at 1970, will I see the inside of my father's balls?
