The first digital cameras for consumer use were the Apple QuickTake 100 (February 17th, 1994) and the Kodak DC40 (March 28th, 1995). Sony entered the imaging market with their first digital camera, the CyberShot Digital Still Camera in 1996.
In April of 2001, Kodak announced its first digital photo printer.
In August of 2001, Sony announced its first digital photo printer (was smaller and more lightweight than Kodak's).

Sony is in a different industry than Kodak. Sony belongs to the Audio/Video Equipment Industry where Eastman Kodak is in the Photography Industry. Sony, however does manufacture photographical tools. Based on the two companies' history, Kodak will likely continue to have a larger selection of electronic photography products, but Sony will continue to develop similar products, often "improved" versions of Kodak's original products.
