Kodak to Stop Making Digital Cameras to Cut Costs

[Coldkennels]

Now you have the mission to pull them from Lomo to the real stuff.....
From time to time I give me a break from "serious" photography and dive into lower fidelity photography as well. It's fun!
Cameras like the Sprocket Rocket and Spinner are unique and give pleasant results.

Oh, I'm trying, believe me. Last time I saw them, one was using a Kiev 88 and the other had a Zenit-E. It's not perfect, but hey, baby steps...

Actually, I'll openly admit that some of the Lomography cameras are quite fun. I still have quite a soft spot for the supersampler, silly as it is. It's all the other bull**** that makes me rage. But that's a topic for a different, less polite place...!

They do: Max 800 and Ultra Max 800. Offered in different markets as single films, and afaik in single use cameras.

I did not know that. Wouldn't be surprised if the cheaper one of the two makes it into Lomography's 800 in the coming months.

Greetings to the island from the continent!
Oh well, I think it's definetely time for me to get over the canal again, missing lovely good old Britain.

Cheers, Jan

They actually made some very high end professional cameras at one time. The first D-SLRs were kodak cameras, using Nikon and Canon 35mm film cameras mated to a Kodak digital back. Later, they made the DCS-14n, a fullframe 14mp camera that cost $5000 back when the only other FF digital was the 11mp Canon 1Ds that cost $8000. It had some serious flaws (it didn't do well with long exposures, in-camera jpeg sucked, and the raw conversion software with it gave poor quality images, but Photoshop and Lightroom made perfect RAW conversions with the 14n files), and some have blamed its failure for killing professional cameras at Kodak. I bought one from the local camera store as a demo for $1500 after it was discontinued and it was actually a camera that delivered incredible images, when you understood its limits. I think the Kodak 14n had the best color reproduction of ANY digital camera I have ever used, and the files made very good black and white conversions.

Ah, yes, I have a National Geographic book that shows some images of a Kodak digital back on a 35mm film SLR body. That was some pricey stuff.

This could be the future of RIM. Kodak gave us photography, they gave us digital photography but they just can't put it together.. They have not advanced and not improved the products.. The biggest issue is poor management here. It is to bad but this is the darwin idea for business. You either make products the people want or you are gone..
It should have happened that way for the big three auto makers too.
