Kodak CES booth tour
Kodak's CES booth this year had a distinct electronic picture frame theme. We think it's something to do with the fact that they sell them ...
You can't get more personal than a message written with black marker pen.
Rows and rows of cameras. What else did you expect at a Kodak booth?
C for achievement, E for effort. See me after CES!
Gotta buy 'em all!
Kodak's new V803 8-megapixel point and shoot camera.
Who brings all their product awards to CES and shows them off in the center of their booth? Kodak, that's who.
Faux wood FTW!
It's like they set up their staged product demonstration stand just for me!
Flash, ah ah!
Yeah, we totally get our cameras from the oak in Engadget HQ's back yard.
There were too many of these to count at the Kodak booth.Bonus award: Kodak's booth had musaq playing so bad that it was good.

I miss Kodak. I mean, sure, I don't own a Kodak camera but I used to drive past one of their film manufacturing plants almost every day & I hate to see another iconic US brand go sour because were arrogant or ignorant or just plain blind to changes happening all around them. Same for Polaroid.
I think it's happening to Sony right now (at least the collapse isn't for US companies only). Zero direction.

kodak was the one company that could have made 35mm cool again.. but they are swimming with the stream.

Why oh WHY will they not make a digital SLR. Why do these guys continue to settle for mediocrity?
This company used to be a giant in imaging. Now all I see are a bunch of crappy digital picture frames that damn near everyone makes these days, along with their o.k. P&S line that sells, but does not do their name justice...
Hell, there are barely any cameras in their booth.
Sad.

I think you might find that Kodak do (or at least did) produce digital SLRs. Try searching for DSLR/c and DSLR/n.
With manufacturers like Canon and Nikon leading the field - especially with their history of glass still compatible with recent models - they may well have decided that providing photosensors and catering to the consumer market rather then prosumer+ would be more lucrative than trying to penetrate

Am I the only one who's actually a fan of Kodak's P&S cams? I'm on my second and my GF has one as well. We've taken some great pics, many of which rival or beat the Canons owned by our friends. Plus... they're cheap!
