Why did every new, modernized film set-up adopt smaller negatives than 135 film?

APS was a good idea, but ruined by small negative size.

I remember that camera. I had it for a week or so, babysitting it and taking it out with me for a walk.
That was before the advent of digital cameras, and I remember getting a lot of comment on it.

Can you even get the APS films nowadays?

Because they were always spearheaded by Kodak, and Kodak aims for the low-end. So whenever they realized they'd improved their films to the point where they could get a certain minimum quality level, they'd try to reduce the size of the negatives.

Interestingly, the thought occurs that, with modern technology, someone could make a 35mm spool with all of the advantages of APS. Just stick a small memory chip in the film canister itself. It would just have to hold shutter speed, aperture, aspect ratio, prints. Maybe three bytes per frame, 36 frames. That's less than 256 bytes. Chip to handle that would cost maybe a nickel in quantity.

Of course, there's not really much of a market for improving film anymore, so I doubt anyone would bother making cameras and film for such a theoretical system.

Probably not, what with digital cameras now exceeding 10MP.
Polaroid has shut down the production of their films. It's the sign of the times.

Pretty much every grocery store and drugstore seems to have APS film.

And the same amount every time I walk in, too.

However, there's still shutter lag.
And polaroid closed down because of fuck high prices.
