Kodak Digital Camera Offer Film Leader A Comeback

Sine 1888 when George Eastman introduced the first camera for use by the masses, his Kodak company was a leader in the film photography business. The name Kodak, which Eastman essentially made up, became synonymous with photography around the world as his pioneering in the development of film helped grow the company into a multi-billion dollar industry. Even in 1995, when the first Kodak digital camera hit the market, the company was not so sure digital was going to catch on, and continued to introduce new types of film.

The model DC40 point and shoot Kodak digital camera may have helped lead the film industry toward its demise as the digital format was embraced by amateurs and professionals from all walks of life. One of the biggest advantages cited by most users of digital equipment is being able to see the picture as soon as it is taken. If the picture does not meet expectations it can be erased from the storage media a shot again, to insure that a quality picture was available without waiting for the film to be developed.

The company however, is reluctant to give up on its rich film heritage and equally hesitant, some photographers are more reluctant to make the complete switch to the digital format. However, to offset the losses of film sales, there is a Kodak digital camera for most every level of user.

Kodak Continues With Professional Services

When many professional photographers began looking into the benefits of digital, there were only a few manufacturers with the technology to produce professional results. The continued research helped take the Kodak digital camera from the hands of the everyday amateur and into the equipment piles of the professionals. Improving pixilation through computer software and insuring the use of high quality lenses has helped the Kodak digital camera division keep life in the company.

Newer printing and copying technology was spearheaded by Kodak, which sold the digital imaging division and now is widely recognized for the ease of use of its Kodak easy share docking and emailing systems. The Kodak digital camera can be placed on its dock and instantly print clear, sharp images without the added expense of inkjet printer cartridges.

Just as Eastman aimed for with the first Eastman Kodak cameras for all users, the idea to make photography as "easy as using a pencil" continues to be the company goal. While the technology continues to grow, the Kodak digital camera also helps amateur photographers grow into their hobby.
