Company name
I'm sure that the company retains the rights to "Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd." and similar. Until recently (but sorry, I didn't notice when) it was indeed using this as its official name: stuff conspicuously about "Fujifilm" this or that came with inconspicuous copyright messages and the like naming Fuji Photo Film. Recently, however, the company seems to have become Fujifilm. (At last, they've worked out a way to avoid confusion with Fuji Kōgaku!) It may be very recent indeed, because a few minutes ago although when I googled "Fuji Photo Film" I was shown a list of pages such as "Fuji Photo Film Canada Inc." and "Fuji Photo Film USA", clicking on either took me to a page about "Fujifilm" with no mention (even in the source) of "Fuji Photo Film". Even if this can be verified, there's no great rush to rename the article to "Fujifilm". Still, perhaps we should pay attention.
Incidentally, I'm puzzled by the way the company has ditched the still valid "photo" but retained the increasingly unimportant "film". "Fujiphoto" isn't obviously less pronouncable. But I supposed people used to ask (and I still ask) for "Fuji film", I don't suppose they've asked for "Fuji photos". -- Hoary 07:08, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
