3. In May 2005, the German-
Belgian camera and film
manufacturer AgfaPhoto
went bankrupt.
5. An old business which had been
profitable for many decades was
now literally blown into pieces
within a few years.
6. A lot of people came to watch
this spectacular event.
7.
8. The company said:
"AgfaPhoto has been
suffering from intense
competition in the market lot
traditional photographic
equipment and products,
and the shift among
consumers towards digital
products."
9. In a statement, workers'
representatives described it
as "a development that is
both surprising and painful."
10. 125 kilos of explosives
later the building hit the
ground.
55. “Never buy this camera.
Slowest digital camera
ive ever seen. Slowest
shutter lag and very
slow at even viewing
your images.”
56. The camera doesn't
make sharp pictures
and the colours aren't
good. I have another
digital camera, a
Olympus C-830L, this
camera makes much
better quality pictures!
My opinion: this camera
isn't worth the money!!!!
59. “This is a so-so camera, but really ices
the cake is that when the thing broke
(the LED screen began to leak) tech
support was AWFUL. They sent me two
refurbished cameras, neither of which
worked AT ALL. They refused to test the
cameras before sending, or to get me a
new one. Unrelenting complaining
FINALLY got me a refund.”
60. “Plawa's first stab at an Agfa-
cam isn't looking too incredibly
hot… The metal housing looks
durable, but incredibly bulky, and
there's no word on optical image
stabilisation or any other fancy
specs.”
