Kodak Announces End of Kodachrome

DigitalJournal says:

Kodak has announced the withdrawal of Kodachrome after 74 years on the market. The film type was made famous by top photographers as well as the singing duo Simon and Garfunkel in their song of the same name.
Kodak announced it was pulling the film because it now only made up less than one percent of the company’s sales. The company’s website featured interviews with world famous photographers who used the classic film.

A 35 mm Kodachrome slide has the equivalent of about 20 megapixels of data, and this resolution is only found in modern Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) high-end cameras, like the Canon 5D or the Nikon D3X which have about 21 or 24 megapixels respectively. However, most affordable digital cameras today do not have the level of clarity of Kodachrome.
