Kodak did fine in the transition to digital. They made some popular compact cameras and tried to make DSLRs. They were wiped out by compact cameras being killed by smartphones. The survivors are the old camera makers like Canon and Nikon that have ecosystems. The other big survivor is Sony, which bought a camera company and makes most of camera sensors.

Fuji is interesting, they weren't that successful in first digital cameras, but now have some interesting mirrorless ones. They still make film.




Fujifilm is a much smaller company than Kodak was. They also applied a lot of their expertise in emulsions to medical applications.

And, yes, they have some interesting if somewhat niche cameras.
