The website has Kodak splashed all-over, the camera looks like a Kodak, is marketed like a Kodak, geez they even have Kodak’s heritage listed. It isn’t a Kodak, it’s JK Imaging. Early last year, just prior to going into bankruptcy, the Eastman Kodak Company announced the ditching of its digital camera range.
At the time Kodak was in a large amount of pain, blaming the demise of low end digital cameras on the rise in quality of smartphone cameras, After re-financing and a quick but brutal reshuffle; including selling-off licensing agreements, ditching almost 30,000 workers and a beefed up patent war. Kodak under the helmsmanship of CEO Antonio Perez is slowly resurrecting.
Kodak-branded cameras looked set to be consigned to the history books, destined to become dusty relics collected by odd-little folk who speak lots of remember-whens. Fortunately for brand-watchers – and folk who refuse to buy into the pro-photog look – LA based JK Imaging snapped up a brand licensing deal earlier this year that has seen the Kodak brand once again brandished on a new wave of digital cameras :: Read the full article »»»»

Our favorite Korean semiconductor behemoth, Samsung, has just announced it’s newest and fastest version of the Exynos mobile processor. The 4212, a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 clocked at 1.5GHz. 4212 is built using a 32mn process using high-K metal gate technology that that Samsungs says makes it 30 percent more efficient and 25 percent faster and a 50 per cent increase in 3D graphics grunt over the previous Exynos – 4210 – chip. The 4210 was capable of many impressive feats, unfortunately its 3D abilities were hampered by the limits of its HDMI controller.
The new cpu gets version 1.4 and hence the freedom to run stereoscopic imagery at an impressive 70fps. The chips will be available in Q4 of this year. The chip comes too late for the Galaxy S II LTE but you can expect to see it in future super-smart-phones before too long.
The Exynos 4212 incorporates a rich portfolio of advanced codec accelerators that support digital still images, video recording and play-back at 1080p full-HD resolution, an image signal processor and an on-chip HDMI 1.4 interface. Read the full article »»»»
