One has to give credit to Kodak for pioneering point and shoot camera technology. And the brand has surely not rested on it laurels enough for it is consistently working hard to develop and incorporate the latest happenings in the techie world. Well, can’t blame the folks there for there is Nikon and Canon to catch up with. So to match the touchsceen interface the two companies have excelled in integrating their cameras with, Kodak has come up with Slice.
As cute as the name sounds, this new seemingly typical P&S camera has a 14MP sensor. Of course, the touchscreen interface is pretty much there. This little slice of a gadget will let you shoot 720p 30 FPS video. It also features image stabilization and a lithium ion battery. We do realise that the whole charade is not anything particularly new, but this one is a catch because it is as cute as a button.

Nikon may be considered by many as the ultimate when it comes to amazing picture quality in photography but the design of the cameras themselves leave consumers desiring for more. With the launch of the CoolPix series, people are left hoping for a ‘cool camera’ in the future.
The Neo Classic model of the Nikon CoolPix series has been designed with the intent of giving digital photography technology a taste of its ancestors. Unfortunately, it falls flat in this regard because the cameras neither look stylish nor do they appear appear desiring in any way, even to the old-fashioned and nostalgic at heart. On the other hand, the Good Grip has an amazing design with a parallelogram body and stylish in silver and black leather. The CoolPix series have been designed by Nikolay Komarov and it is thus surprising that one designer can produce a beautiful design like the Good Grip when he shows lack of talent on another design.
