几十年来,柯达一直是世界上最大的摄影公司。 在巴西,几乎每个城市都有一家柯达照片冲洗店。 柯达是销售相机、模拟胶片、照片冲洗和相纸的市场领导者。 一个真正的亿万富翁帝国。 柯达之于摄影,就像今天苹果之于科技世界。 但作为一个公司这样一个巨人在2012年破产了? 柯达的错误是什么? 柯达为什么会破产?

YouTube频道 "Next Business "制作了一段视频,解释了导致柯达破产的主要错误。 尽管看起来不可思议,但它的破产是因为它最伟大的发明之一:数码相机。 尽管它开发了数码技术,甚至拥有数码摄影的所有专利,并拥有所有结构来主导这个新市场,但柯达错误地选择了保护自己的市场,在这种情况下,模拟摄影为它带来了数十亿美元的利润。 观看下面的视频,更详细地了解柯达的致命错误,它使这个摄影巨头破产。

在另一段Endeavor Brazil视频中,硅谷人工智能先驱凯文-苏拉斯证实了促使柯达公司破产的错误,他说,虽然该公司发明了第一台数码相机,但其大多数高管不相信人们会用打印的照片换取数字图像,也不相信他们会更愿意在Facebook等社交网络上查看相册、请看下面的视频:

我们可以从柯达的破产中为摄影的未来吸取什么教训? 许多摄影师和人们认为,手机和人工智能(AI图像生成器)将在未来几年超过传统相机(单反相机和无反相机)。 即使人们看不到它,这些新技术将从2024年和2025年起主导摄影市场。佳能、尼康和索尼等相机制造商已经知道这一点,但他们仍然保持沉默,寻求利用仍然存在的市场,并由他们无力重塑自己。

不管你喜不喜欢,当新技术到来时,最好的办法就是尽快适应。 柯达的历史就是这一点的最大证明之一。 你认为这是一个孤立的案例吗? 完全不是。 奥利维蒂是世界上最大的打字机制造公司,当计算机出现时,该公司没有投资于新技术的制造,而是选择留在了而这并不是预测或看到未来,而是分析现在的运动和趋势,这些运动和趋势在大多数情况下会自动形成未来。 不要成为摄影的出租车!

柯达的简史

柯达是一家美国公司,在历史上对摄影的发展以及摄影机和胶片的普及起到了关键作用。 该公司由乔治-伊士曼于1888年创立,彻底改变了人们捕捉、存储和分享图像的方式。

19世纪末,柯达公司推出了第一台柯达相机,这种相机价格低廉,使用方便。 这种开创性的相机使人们不需要先进的技术知识就能拍照。 捕捉到图像后,用户将相机送到柯达公司,由柯达公司冲洗胶片并将成品照片交付给客户。

多年来,柯达不断创新并推出新产品。 1935年,该公司推出了第一款柯达彩色胶卷,这款胶卷变得非常受欢迎。 柯达也是最早在市场上推出数码相机的公司之一。

然而,随着数字技术的发展,柯达面临着重大挑战。 该公司努力适应市场的变化,并跟上从模拟摄影到数字摄影的过渡。 2012年,柯达申请破产保护,此后专注于印刷和包装等其他领域。

尽管最近遇到了一些困难,但柯达在摄影史上留下了重要的遗产。 它使摄影变得容易获得和流行,使世界各地数以百万计的人能够捕捉到珍贵的时刻。 柯达品牌仍然被广泛认可,并与摄影史联系在一起,被认为是行业的一个标杆。
