If you find yourself in or near Rochester, N.Y., I recommend touring the George Eastman House/Museum. Eastman was the founder of Kodak and the company's arsenal included the iconic Brownie. (Brownie was a fuzzy/friendly Canadian cartoon character and Kodak swiped the image and name for its then-new camera.)
The docent I recently toured with visited the whole digital vs analog debate - even applying it to audio.
Of course, while Kodak had the patents to digital photography, they scoffed at digital. Kodak employment went from 72,000 to less than 7,000 today.

I hear they are launching a new Super 8 movie camera.
You're right. And the new Star Wars movie was shot on Kodak film made right here in Rochester, N.Y.
Rock on Rochester! I go over there and do some offset work from time to time, and was lucky to assist Carl Chiarenza on a catalogue for a somewhat recent show. Kodak lives!
