Eastman Kodak to sell online photo gallery business to Shutterfly for $23.8-mln

From www.proactiveinvestors.com - March 5, 2012 3:57 PM

"Eastman Kodak Co. (PINK:EKDKQ) said late Thursday it has entered into an agreement to sell its online photo gallery business to Shutterfly (NASDAQ:SFLY) for $23.8 million as it seeks to focus on retail photo services and home printing products.
The iconic camera maker, which filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, agreed to a “stalking bid” in a court supervised auction to ensure the maximization of value for the assets.
Shutterfly’s bid is the first in an auction process that Eastman Kodak is seeking to have approved in U.S. bankruptcy court by late March."

Kodak to stop making digital cameras

From www.dpreview.com - February 10, 2012 1:48 AM

"Kodak will stop making digital cameras within the next few months. The company, currently in bankruptcy protection, will also stop making pocket video cameras and photo frames as a cost-cutting measure. Instead it is looking to license its name to other manufacturers who wish to sell cameras under the Kodak brand. Closing the business will cost around $30m, mainly in the cost of laying-off workers, but will save around $100m per year in running costs. All product warranties will be honored.

There was an outburst of nostalgia when the company announced it was discontinuing its famous Kodachrome color film but today's announcement that one of the innovators in portable photography and digital camera technology is leaving the business is a sad one. The company's recent retreat into bankruptcy protection means this step won't come as a complete shock but, whatever now happens to the company, its link to everyday photography has been broken."
