Kodak – Always Finding More Ways of Helping Its Consumers to Share Their Lives in Photos
By Harriet M Adams
Kodak has been an innovator in the field of photography for well over 100 years, producing cameras and photographic equipment since 1888. Kodak invented the digital camera in 1975 and digital imaging is the basis of a large number of Kodak products.
Kodak sees itself as providing its consumers, especially women, its core customer, with products designed to enhance the ease of sharing important moments with loved ones.
The company offers a large number of digital frames to complement its many models of digital cameras. They include simple “plug and play” photo-display only frames, multi-media and cordless frames and wireless frames. The latest frame is the 10″ model of the very popular 7″ Kodak Pulse Wireless frame. The innovative Kodak Quick-Touch Border is used in many of the frames, eliminating the need to bother with a remote control. Kodak’s particular form of navigation also prevents fingerprint smudges while the absence of buttons on the screen gives it a sleek appearance, unlike those frames that look more like TVs or computer screens.
Kodak cameras and digital frames can utilize Kodak’s well-known EasyShare technology. This technology is a fundamental part of Kodak’s goal to make photography “easy to share.” One push of a button and photos and videos can be automatically “shared” to whatever location you choose. That could be Facebook, Flickr, an email address, YouTube and more.
Kodak invented the photo kiosk in 1993 and has recently expanded upon the idea with many new features, continuing its goal of helping its consumers to share their lives in photos. These kiosks are self-contained photo editing and printing stations. Many of the new features include the ability to view and select individual frames from videos and convert them into still pictures, a pet eye retouch feature to eliminate pet eye glare, a facial retouch feature to smooth wrinkles and diminish and reduce blemishes, the ability to print out pictures directly from the Kodak Gallery, Picasa and Facebook and the ability to select photo products such as collages, photo books, calendars, etc. with the push of a button.
To keep up with the latest technology, Kodak has also introduced the Kodak Pic Flick application for the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch to enable uploading of photos to the Kodak 1020 Wireless Digital Frame. Photos can also be printed wirelessly on the Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One Wi-Fi-enabled printer.
The above are some examples of how Kodak continues to pursue its goal of finding new and meaningful ways for people to use photos to connect to each other and share the memorable moments in their lives.
