Kodak developed the first handheld digital camera in 1975, though the product was discontinued so that it would not threaten Kodak\u2019s photographic film business. The first Kodak camera took round pictures 6.4 cm in diameter and contained a roll of film for up to one hundred exposures. Its invention marked the beginning of amateur photography. In the late 1990s, Kodak began to focus on digital photography and digital printing due to the decline in sales of photographic film.<\/p>\n\n
