Sales of digital cameras, printers, and accessories nearly doubled during April, May and June, while traditional film sales fell by 8%. The decline of film has been quicker than expected and its plans to cut 15,000 by 2007 are ahead of schedule, with profits of $253m higher than Kodak's previous predictions."</i>

Not surprising, given that there's a phobia against film for some, and that digital is getting better and better.
