most 3rd world countries can't afford cameras, let alone processing. they are so low as to be invisible. it's 2nd world countries that will have a decent share for about one or two decades. Kodak hopes that those countries will stablize at about 20% of what they had for their worldwide best year in 2000. IOW, Kodak's best case scenario is that total worldwide film sales will stop shrinking when it reaches about 40% of the 2000 figures and stay that way for at least a decade.
