Three Video Creations from Kodak PIXPRO.

From Kodak, who joined with JK Imaging (probably to stay active in the photo business) is producing the PIXPRO Smart Lens cameras. (Yes, they do resemble similar entries from Sony's QX-series, but are lower priced. I have not used either one.) The PIXPRO SL10 and SL25 look like zoom lenses, but they do not attach to a camera body. Instead they feature a spring bracket that quickly attaches them to almost any smartphone. Even though they're physically connected to your Android or iOS phone, they are controlled via Wi-Fi. Once paired, you see the live output of the lens on your connected device. As a matter of fact you can hold the lens in the air to get a better shot while you view what the lens is seeing right on your smart phone screen. You can also control the zoom and shutter button from your smart phone or on the Kodak SL10 or SL25's body itself. You can choose to save the images to your device or to the PIXPRO; each camera features a MicroSD card slot. The PIXPRO SL10 offers a stabilized, 28-280mm equivalent, 10x optical zoom lens. The PIXPRO SL25 has a 25x optical zoom with a 24-600mm equivalent range. Both Smart Lens cameras can also shoot full 1080p video. The SL10 is available now for $229. The SL25 is coming in the fall at $299.

Kodak PIXPRO SP1 Digital Action Cam 

The other camera in my video is the PixPro SP1. It lets you capture all your adrenaline filled adventures in full 1080p HD video with an ultra wide-angle lens and 14MP CMOS sensor. Rugged, compact and versatile the PIXPRO SP1 Digital Action Cam easily mounts to helmets, boards, handle bars and just about anything else you can imagine. Waterproof up to 32' and shockproof drop a drop of up to 6.5'. With the built-in wireless connectivity, you can share with your inner circle or social media, or both! But wait, there’s more! 10fps burst shooting in full resolution, face detection, auto exposure, underwater white balance and more.
