"Kodak has a pair of super zoom cameras that actually may be able to spot a needle in a haystack. The Z1012 IS and Z1015 IS are 10MP cams that zoom up to 12X and 15X, respectively." - Gizmodo
I don't get a lot of time to hang out in our development labs. I get glimpses from time to time which always piques my curiosity. When I heard that we were announcing several new products at a press event, I was thrilled to go and get a first hand look at what is coming.
It's exciting to be at an event with so much energy and anticipation. I was amazed at how many new and different products we had to show. It's hard to say which one got the most attention.
This is the Kodak Zi6 Pocket Video Camera. Even though it is pocket sized it captures HD video (720p at 60fps) and is really easy to use.
The Zi6 comes with built in USB, an SD/SDHC card slot, 2.4" LCD screen, cables for viewing videos on your HDTV and pre-charged AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and a battery charger.
The icing on the cake is the new relationship between Kodak and YouTube that enables you to upload videos directly to YouTube from the Zi6 in a snap.
Oh, and another cool feature is you can playback video in slow motion.
I gotta say it was difficult to tear myself away from the Kodak Theatre HD Player displays. It's hard to explain just how much this can do. Using the wireless remote control pointer that you can just point and click with, you can view pictures, video, podcasts, music and web fed content all through your Wi-Fi network. Whew!
Through the Kodak Theatre HD Player you have access to your pictures on your computer, USB Jump Drive, SC memory card, Kodak Gallery or Flickr. Watch or upload videos to YouTube. Listen to music from your personal collection or Internet Radio. You can even check the weather.
Your living room will never be the same.
I had a lot of fun trying out the new Kodak W820 and W1020 Wireless Digital Frames. As part of another great partnership, you can access pictures on Flickr. The frames continue to work with Kodak Gallery too.
There is also a connection to FrameChannel so you can view news, weather and more on your frame.
The W820 and W1020 also play videos and MP3s which make for cool slideshows.
You can navigate to all of these features using the Quick Touch Border with your fingertips. Pretty cool because it keeps the screen free of fingerprints.
All evening I heard people oohing and ahhing over these innovative new products. There was a lot to take in for one evening and I am sure there will be lots more posts about each of these new additions!
