Kodak Gallery is a poor choice for online photo storage. As of this month, they’ve changed their storage policy so that now you must spend a minimum amount—$4.99 or $19.99, depending on whether you’re under or over 2GB of storage—every 12 months or your pics will be deleted. By comparison, Shutterfly has no minimum spending requirement and unlimited storage.

Kodak To End Flash Photography?
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.
Kodak's Trade-In Program Pays For Your Old Camera
Kodak will pay for your old camera if you buy a new Kodak EasyShare. It’s like trading in your old car, except there are no shady dealers.
Step 1 — Register for a Trade-In account and log in to the Trade-In Center.
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.
The program, which has been active since last October, evaluates several factors, including camera condition, zoom level, and external media included. The trade-in value is determined primarily by megapixel count.
