Given that outside US and a few other countries they have a market share around 20%, and most of those countries use pre-paid mobile phones, I think there are plenty of opportunities there.

But how much market share do they have among people likely to buy expensive digital photography equipment?
Re:Kodak Ektra by pjmlp on Friday October 21, 2016 @06:27AM (#12759327)
Lots, because it is cheaper than buying an iPhone off contract or even taking into consideration the monthly contract rates, in countries where most folks get to see 1000€ or less monthly.

Folks that get to see "1000€ or less monthly" don't care about a novelty camera-first phone. They can get a good phone AND a better than the Ektra compact for way less.

Which is my exactly point regarding the iPhone use as camera.

In which case, well, err, we agree I guess.
