Kodak cameras no more

How very interesting — Kodak, a company who’s name has been synonymous with photography my entire life, will stop selling traditional film cameras in America and Western Europe.

Blaming declining demand, the Rochester, New York-based company said it would by the end of this year quit making cameras that use the Advanced Photo System (APS) format, as well as reloadable cameras that use 35-millimeter film.

Kodak will still make film for existing Advantix and other cameras, and intends to introduce new high-performance 35 millimeter and Advanced Photo System films next month.
