Full article at Reuters...Now, instead of designing its own cameras, Kodak will try to license its brand to other camera makers, several of which have already expressed "significant interest," said spokesman Christopher Veronda.
Kodak, which as recently as 2006 was one of the top three digital camera makers in the world, will stick with its desktop printer business, on which it has focused more recently.

End of an era for sure, but it's what happens when a business gets complacent, stops innovating and rests on its laurels.

Puntacular!
Don't worry, once they stop producing anything they will start employing all the lawyers. You know, for the inevitable patent trolling that will soon follow.
They are the camera industry version of rambus and like rambus it doesn't matter how good your initial concept is, you have to move with the times or realise it too late and have to resort to trolling the industry with your patents. Either way makes good money.

Cameras and photography defined Kodak. Their printers, not so much.
Bad move on their part, IMO.

I have to agree. Many of my friends still use Kodak and they were quite good.
Sadly like many have pointed out, their printers were..well, rubbish.
It's such a pity they're doing this.
Film defined Kodak. They're business was based around endless repeat business and despite inventing digital photography, failed to make anything of it for them selves. Ultimately their arrogance let them down.
