Professional Photographer online did a great review of Kodak Ektar 100 film with lots of sample photos to demonstrate the fine grain.

"In the Mamiya, Ektar performed flawlessly and maintained detail in the highlights and shadow areas."

"Ektar is a welcome addition to the medium-format film world whether on a pro camera or a toy."

The Washington Post featured a review of the Kodak W1020 Digital Frame by PCWorld.



"The Kodak W1020 frame ($160 as of 5/7/2009) stands out thanks to its ease of use (in most respects), with or without Kodak's proprietary software."

New Kodak products earn praise in online reviews!

After last week's media event with all the new product announcements there are lots of great reviews out there. Here are just a few...



For the Zi8 Pocket Video Camera...

Gizmodo - The Zi8 earns Gizmodo's "bestmodo" tag reserved for the best of the best that the editors review. "The reason the Zi8's video really stands out is image stabilization. This is a much bigger deal than it might sound, because it accomplishes something that might not be immediately obvious: it cuts down on shimmering—that queasy rippling effect you get whenever you move a cheap camcorder too quickly."

CNET - A four-star review from CNET warrants the label "EXCELLENT."  "With the Zi8, Kodak finally surpasses Flip Video's video quality and feature set."

WIRED.com - "In short, if you were thinking of buying a Flip Ultra HD, you should be taking a long look at the Kodak instead."

Engadget -  "The perks of face recognition for improved exposure and gyroscope-based image stabilization are also pretty snazzy at this $180 pricepoint."

PCMag.com - "The Zi8 also offers electronic image stabilization, a rarity among pocket camcorders."



For the Kodak Theatre HD Player...

Engadget - "We didn't have a problem playing 30fps 1080p video on the Kodak Theatre HD Player when we tested it back in January, but apparently we were living on the edge -- the box just got an update officially supporting 1080p playback."

DeviceMag.com - "Another feature to be relished is the-collage view which brings you images from a networked PC sorted by date."



For the Kodak Z950 Digital Camera...

Pocket-Lint.com -  "Sitting at the top of the pile is the Z950, a 12-megapixel 10x optical zoom monster that sports Kodak's "Smart Capture" feature which auto adjusts focus, flash, and exposure."



For the Kodak S730 Digital Frame...

PhotographyReview.com - "The battery powered digital picture frame allows for new ways to enjoy and share digital images."

Whew! That's a lot of good stuff!
