Kodak branded cameras coming from JK Imaging (licensing deal)

It was bound to happen and now it happened! Kodak has licensed the Kodak brand name to JK Imaging for the purpose of releasing digital cameras, camcorders and projectors under the Kodak brand name. The first products will be revealed in the first quarter of 2013. First quarter is January 1st until March 31st.

As you may recall recalling, Kodak itself exiting the digital camera business a few months ago. Even then, Kodak wasn't really making their cameras in Rochester. But with this new deal, the only Kodak involvement will be the licensed logo (or something like that).
