Eastman Kodak manufactures CCDs for their cameras and others.  They
also do optics (mostly government work at this point, I think).  I
think they got rid of there non-photo chemical business, but I'm not
sure.

I believe that the traditional (film) camera manufacturers might have
more trouble than Kodak (or Fuji) as they all move into a market
(computers and electronics) where the consumer values low price more
than quality.
