Where do you show most of your digital photos to friends? Probably via Facebook or Flickr or the like, but many consumers simply do the most logical thing: turn their camera around and squint at the dinky LCD. That was the idea behind the Slice, announced yesterday and more or less designed around a lovely 3.5-inch touchscreen that may not be quite as big as a 4 x 6 print, but it's far more versatile. The 14 megapixel camera has a solid feel in the hand and looks great. For those feeling a little more adventurous there's the 1080p Playsport camcorder, which looks and feels more or less like a beefy Flip. To prove its disrespect toward moisture, the camera was unceremoniously plunked into a fish bowl, where it seemed hardly perturbed. Finally is the Pulse digital photo frame, a somewhat pedestrian-looking seven-inch, 800 x 600 model that sports the ability to receive photos via e-mail, so you can shoot those pics of the grandkids off to nanna without her having to touch a thing. Pictures of all that and a pair of new EasyShare models in the gallery below. Oh, and a crab, too.
Does the playsport have a mic input? cause if it does that's freaking awesome for $150
@cruleworld: I'm digging the PlaySport.
@aubreyq
I'm digging it to, but if it doesn't have the mic input I'm going for the zi8 probably. Or I'll just go for the minoHD
Hot chick in picture 19 of the set, hehehehe!
Shoulda named the "Slice" the "Kodak Disc". lol.
The Slice udses a KLIC-7000 series battery like the older 3"/3.5" V1073/V1273 but notably quite thinner.
And did anyone the "K" on the top is a nod to the classic Kodak logos.
I'm glad to see more tough/waterproof solutions being implemented, drives the prices down.
