Kodak displayed a new Mirrorless camera at the P&E show in China. This appears to be a fixed lens model with 28-112mm f/1.7-2.4 lens. I doubt this has a Four Thirds sensor (and FT mount) like their previously announced “Kodak S1″. The “Kodak S1” will be released in Q3 of this year and will feature a Sony CMOS MFT sensor and built-in WiFi.
There is no other info yet about the specs and release of the PixPro model. The only link between that camera and the Kodak S1 is that both have been announced quietly in China only. So it’s clear that this is also a JK Imaging realized camera with a Kodak logo on it. JK Imaging acquired the brand rights from Kodak.

PIXPRO, really? Like in piX-PRO?
Handsome-looking camera, except for the “28-112mm (Equivalent)” marking on the lens – should just label the actual focal length.
Kodak S1 entry mft camera with Sony sensor.
Meanwhile in Panasonic land, every camera except for their highest end offering continues to use ancient technology.
Why is this news here? By virtue of it being a fixed lens, it is only an advanced P&S, no different than the Canon G-series. And the G1X even has a larger sensor.
It looks like a versión of the Olympus ZX10
Another new “Kodak” superzoom.

Pixpro is a term used in the new “Kodak” in all their compact cameras. I supposed that the company that buy the rights to use the Kodak name, did not buy the Easyshare name, and changed it to “Pixpro”.
“Sony CMOS MFT sensor” in S-1! That’s a serious competitor to entry level models from Olympus and Panasonic.
No OIS written on the lens. That probably means S-1 has IBIS!
More wally world fodder….no doubt they’ll sell trillions. What a stunning rebirth for “Kodak” to rub shoulders with titans like Praktica and Microtek. I’ll keep a watch on the high-end electronics section at Target.
