Designed for indoor and outdoor use, each camera will be sold loaded with a 24-exposure roll of Kodacolor Gold 400 print film, Kodak said.
The softness in this segment, which includes traditional photographic products, copiers and data storage, in part reflected photo dealers depleting their film inventories in anticipation of Kodak's new Kodacolor Gold film.
The new film will be 15 to 20 percent more expensive than Kodacolor, which costs about $3.79 for a roll of 24 exposures.
Kodak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Colby Chandler adressed that problem in his brief comment about the financial results when he noted that early results from the third quarter indicate strong sales of the new Kodacolor Gold film.
