Kodak To End Flash Photography?

Kodak says they may be able to end the need for flash photography and the resulting red-eye with a new sensor. From Reuters:
The world's biggest maker of photographic film says its proprietary sensor technology significantly increases sensitivity to light. Image sensors act as a digital camera's eyes by converting light into an electric charge to begin the capture process.
...
Kodak's new proprietary technology adds "clear" pixels to the red, green, and blue elements that form the image sensor array, collecting a higher proportion of the light striking the sensor.

Kodak Moments: Kodak Quits Council of Better Business Bureaus Rather Than Face Expulsion

Kodak resigned from the Council of Better Business Bureaus (BBB,) rather than face expulsion for their refusal to respond to complaints lodged by spurned customers.
Kodak was advised it could contest the termination but chose instead to resign its national membership in early March. The photography company allowed its membership in the Buffalo-based branch to lapse about five years ago.

Step 2 — Select the appropriate trade-in estimator and receive an instant estimate.
Step 3 — Buy your new camera at kodak.com.
Step 4 — Ship a copy of your kodak.com receipt & your old camera using the prepaid shipping label.
Step 5 — 7 to 14 days after receipt of the item, we send payment to you by check.

Nightmare Dual-Cyclops Dog Advertisies Kodak Camera

The only connotations it evokes are vaguely nightmarish, which probably wasn't the intent of Kodak's advertising. It also reminds us of a dream we had last night, in which we mutated and discovered an extra eyeball on the face of our foot. Wearing sockless flip-flops, we spent away our time on an oneiric subway line, on the prowl for girls in skirts. But we digress... More »
