The price is a joke, right?
Wow. I literally LOL’d when I saw the price. Maybe it will be a collector’s item some day
It is… the cameras are now on Amazon for nearly half that price.
It looks like they took everything that Panasonic no longer uses (like that lens) changed the color and slapped Kodak all over it. Probably uses Panasonic’s sensor too!
The Panasonic 16 MP sensor is a fine one. No shame to use it. That lens isn’t used by Olympus or Panasonic. They don’t have a 12-45.
It sure is fine, I use it quite often now that I bought the GH4. You’re right about the lens though, I thought they were recycling Panasonic’s 14-45 when I first saw the ad.
Olympus E-M1 uses a Panasonic sensor. So, what are you saying?
I’m saying they probably didn’t put much engineering in this camera. Maybe just a new case over old Panasonic tech. That’s what I’m saying.
Sorry… Kodak’s image has been pretty badly damaged by all their $10 dollar pulp digitals that were selling at Walmarts since the 90s. I just can’t trust a Kodak branded anything. Not until they get their stinking act together and make a serious comeback that will prove they are serious about what they’re doing.
By the time they could ever “get their act together”, the name Kodak will be meaningless to the younger buyers who form the target customer, having been a dead company since long before the younger camera users were born.
From what I’ve read the main target market for these cameras is Asia. Maybe the Kodak name means something over there.
i am shocked how Kodak is not broke with design like these
Kodak really is broke, that’s why they licensed their brand name to JK Imaging, the company that is behind this travesty of a camera.
My god, that price can’t be real. For a plastic piece of crap. I can get the GH3 new for less.
It’s actually supposedly solid feeling according to the few reviews of the camera online.
is that price for real ? The only thing Kodak about this camera is the name…and really that is not even kodak…
Still no pics or detailed specs for the LX100? 🙁 I’m impatient Admin! 🙂
He will get them 2 hours before the official press release.
More money than the new EPL-7 except… it isn’t as capable, has much slower AF. Hell, its about the same price as an EM-10. Who would buy this camera for anything even remotely over $500 with a lens?
Lapping up the crap, over here at 43rumours.com….
Soooo, JK stands for “Just Kidding,” right? A kit lens that’s f/6.3 at 45mm? (see photos, not description) And these prices?
HaHA.
No thanks.
They would have a better chance with a retro polaroid and 20 packs of film.
What a POS.I’m just surprised that 43 is not advertising for it at THEGAMESTOP on ebay.
And how do you know its a POS chump? You own one? reviewed it did ya??
Could those lenses work on a Lumix camera and vice versa?
Yes. But Kodak lenses have no stabilization, and only GX7 have stabilization in Panasonic G lineup.
Yes but this is not your problem, right?
Not her main one, to be sure…
I too want to destroy Hamas.
I am not surprised, you don’t seem the brightest bulb in the chandelier…
friendly lot in here……
The prices are totally stupid. With E-PM2 for $199 (even before 20% off), they ask $836 for the S-1 with kit lens?
lol I paid $839 for my EM-1 at the Olympus refursbished store with 20% off..
Guessing it is just listed on eBay for a few early buyer fools, but very soon you should find it at more stores and bargain prices instead.
At that price they will never sell the camera, people may consider it in 300-400$ range.
So so looking camera – but the big flaw is lack of manual controls – similar to the Sony Nex5/A51000 and some of the Samsung’s cameras – I guess for those who just set their camera on Auto it would be OK – Also the lens looks rather rough – and no built in flash – no EVF –
The key is it is an entry level camera and primarily for the Asian market – and yes the Ebay prices are ridiculous – not a way to start introducing the product
The price is so stupid it’s funny. Watch out though, O + P are not much smarter. Time for m43 to go down?
So, an additional manufacturer releases a m43 product at that’s a sign that the format is declining?
FF, APS-C, m43, and CX all seem like valid formats, given that each have multiple manufacturers releasing cameras. The main sensor sizes I’d worry about are the 1/1.7″ and 1/2.3″.
They only sell junk, or barely decent stuff at grossly inflated prices, so I guess yes, the end is nigh. This “kodak” is probably an attempt at laundering money.
You know that’s funny…go on sonyalpharumors today and see the same thing. People complaining about overpriced lenses from Zeiss. Overpriced this and overpriced that…it’s on every website. They all overcharged and if you keep paying they’ll keep pricing it as such. Time for the camera market to go down? Oh wait, it already is.
The price is silly, MSRP for the kit is $599.
And it looks like it is on Amazon already too, under $500:
