"Always. Be. Ready." I really hate these periods. I despise them. It's stupid, please stop. Also, under "Push what's possible"... why are the 'before' and 'after' image two different photos? What is that supposed to prove?
There's a missed opportunity here... this is not a smartphone, because as a phone, it will suck. It's a smartcamera, because as a point-and-shoot running Android with a cellular data connection, it will probably be quite cool. As mentioned already, Nokia tried the "photography first" smartphonecamera - it didn't fly. Because, honestly, iPhones are already top of the line smartphonecameras. The cameras are ridiculousl…
I like the idea of this as a second device that has phone capabilities. I wish it were easy/quick to switch between multiple devices on the same cell plan. I don't particularly want to go out running with my google pixel, better to use my 4 year old phone for that. I could see taking the Ektra out on a hike if I could toggle it on as the activated device without going through the hoops of calling verizon.

You have to applaud Kodak for taking a risk. If the camera functionality is that much better, some customer segment might be compelled. It's hard to say until the product is available. Future iPhone customers will benefit from this product release. If it's at all better, you better believe this will only push Apple's camera engineering team harder.

Things that would get my attention: Hardware slider that can be mapped to ISO/aperture/shutter speed, ideally dynamically. Hardware AF/MF switch, and AE/AF lock options. Focus peaking.

Hi, this is a great idea. I'm curious if you would pay a little extra (say $5/month) to have say, up to 3 devices? What about if they could all just stay active? Just curious about it as a mental exercise.

An entry level DSLR, for most users, won't beat a top tier smartphone like Google pixel. A bulky professional DSLR is too much for most users. High quality mirorless cameras with ASPC or full frame size sensors are the only type of cameras that are relevant to mass consumers. If Kodak makes such a camera with a smartphone like interface, that would be interesting. They missed the opportunity.

> Nokia tried the "photography first" smartphonecamera - it didn't fly I worked at Nokia at the time. The Lumia 1020 didn't fly because it failed to ship with an OS that was considered "good enough" (and yes, "good enough" means "has apps") by consumers. A Lumia 1020 with Android would have sold better (and shipped sooner)
May have been a reference to an older device, the 808 pureview. That said, Nokia has had multiple devices over the years that had a heavy focus on camera.
