A Kodak walk down memory lane

Globe and Mail Update

Eastman Kodak Co., the inventor of the hand-held camera, plans to stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames in the first half of 2012 in a bid to cut costs.

The photography pioneer, which filed for bankruptcy protection last month, said on Thursday that it will instead seek licensees to expand its brand licensing program. It still plans to offer photo printing and desktop printing.

In 2005, Kodak Canada donated its entire company archives to Ryerson University in Toronto.

Here's a look at some of the hand-held cameras produced by the photography giant over the years.
