Who's Kodak?

Kodak was a camera company, who almost had a monopoly on cameras on any type for over 45 years! They are the inventors of the digital camera, founded by George Eastman. The Eastman Kodak company may have slightly dodged going out of business 5 years ago, by selling a majority of the business', which they have still not re-entered, but they are planning a comeback, not to cameras, but to phones.

So, this isn't the work of Kodak's manufacturing techniques or anything, but of Bullitt Group, who are rugged phone manufacturers from  the United Kingdom. They are the ones who manufactured CAT's phones. It is so far unsure of if Kodak licensed their product out, or if this is all from Bullitt.

We are to believe the camera on this device will top the one's Nokia has been known for, and since the both of them, Samsung's. The phone is focused on taking steady professional photos, running Android as a smartphone, but it is a camera first, according to Kodak Phones.

So, will this be the rise above Canon's cameras, and declare Kodak as the biggest camera company once-more, because of a "smart camera"? No, of course not, but it would be a good comeback for Kodak to get back into the swing of things, especially in a 2016 market. Many believe that Kodak suffered bankruptcy, and went out of business, and that the name was bought out. That didn't happen, as they a majority of their markets, including cameras, online photo-books, printers, and movie productions, were sold out.

So, how did they "disappear"? Kodak tried to become a monopoly on the home, by entering many markets, but was unable to focus around the digital camera market, which they themselves have created. When they tried to save the company, by entering the printer business, the entire company collapsed.

We just have to wait and see whether this can save the name of Kodak or not. Their smartphone, the Kodak EKTRA, is expected to release later on in this week of December 5th, 2016.
