Given that it was Kodak (aka Eastman) who developed the first one shot
colour CCD camera for general photographic purposes plus the first 1
megapixel ccd (1987) and who pushed hard for the development of digital
processing and photography I'd suggest you're off track here.

Considering that Sony was already marketing professional CCD video
cameras by then, Kodak was making a survival move by jumping on the
CCD camera bandwagon. It was obvious even then that photography
was going to go digital, and given Moore's Law, it was going to get as
good as film in a hurry.

But Kodak is never going to dominate digital photography the way it
did film photography. There are too many players, and too many of
them have greater experience than Kodak in producing and marketing
digital electronics.
