Kodak exiting camera business

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Picture it: Save for a few disposable point-and-shoots, Kodak is exiting the camera business.

Eastman Kodak Co. said Thursday that it will stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames in a move that marks the end of an era for the beleaguered 132-year-old company.

The company sought bankruptcy protection from creditors in January in a case that covers $6.7 billion in debt. It has a year to devise a restructuring plan. Citigroup Inc. was approved to lend the company $650 million to continue operating.

Kodak created the world's first digital camera in 1975.
