If you’re wondering how in the world Kodak managed to announced a new camera — and a Micro Four Thirds at that — after all the bankruptcy and such, then read on. Technically, the company behind the new Kodak S1 camera is not Kodak. Instead, it’s the one who bought the rights to use their [...]
It’s no secret that Kodak has been under fire lately for really falling behind the competition. Originally founded in 1889, Kodak went on to become a household name associated with all things photography. Unfortunately, with the emergence of high-end smartphones complete with powerful cameras, the demand for lower end point-and-shoot cameras drastically decreased. This proved [...]
Earlier this year people were shocked — though not surprised — when Kodak filed for bankruptcy. For those unfamiliar with the process, they may have thought this was the end; we would never see another Kodak product, and as we found out later we wouldn’t get to keep the name “Kodak Theatre” either. Of course [...]
Anyone with the slightest bit of interest in photography has probably already heard about Kodak’s bankruptcy woes.

The old ways are going by the wayside, and nowhere is the evidence more apparent than when looking at the once great Kodak company.

However, while it wasn’t much of a surprise [...]
Kodak has been dragging its heels on this for a long time, but it has finally come to this: the Eastman Kodak Company has filed for bankruptcy. Eastman Kodak Company has been in the business for over 130 years. It raked in huge profits early on by selling inexpensive cameras and film processing supplies and [...]
And so, the iconic Eastman Kodak Company continues to unravel. The company has been in hot water financially for a while now. Aside from other camera manufacturers overtaking them and taking the lead, more customers are now using smartphones to shoot images instead of old P&S cameras. You know, like the ones that Kodak is offering. [...]
Most of us are already aware of Kodak’s financial woes and what they’re doing to try to fight bankruptcy: sell off some of their patents. Apparently, another strategy of theirs is to fire off a barrage of lawsuits to firms that are doing relatively well. First, Kodak sued Apple and HTC for infringing their patents in [...]
A lot of camera manufacturers haven’t been doing very well in the past few years.
