Kodak will release several cameras on the market by the end of 2013, including a Micro Four Thirds system. The shooter has been recently announced as the Kodak PixPro S1 and has been scheduled for a Q3 2013 release date.

The shooter has been present at one of the biggest digital imaging shows in China, along with its compact siblings. The Kodak PixPro S1 features a Sony-made Micro Four Thirds CMOS image sensor and WiFi, the latter feature allowing photographers to backup and upload their photos on smartphones and tablets.

It will become available sometime in the late summer or early fall with an entirely new 14-42mm lens, while other optics should be released shortly thereafter. However, more details will be revealed closer to the shooter’s official launch.

Digital imaging giant is on track to emerge out of bankruptcy this summer

One thing that can be easily noticed is that the company will place all of its upcoming cameras into a series called “PixPro”. The camera maker is aiming at emerging out of bankruptcy in mid-2013.

Kodak has filed for bankruptcy in early 2012, after years of poor sales. However, the company has begun selling its assets and licensing its patents. The document imaging business has been sold to Brother for $210 million, while many of its patents have been licensed to a consortium of corporations, such as Microsoft, Google, and Apple, for $527 million.

Although Kodak lost $1.38 billion in 2012, the company is on track towards recovery and its CEO believes that the bankruptcy status will become history sometime in the following months.
