Import Chinese phones? You mean: Apple, some Samsung, ZTE, Motorola, some LG, HTC, Blu, others?

Interesting, but I'll stick with my Kodak Pixpro S-1 (their M 4/3 camera) as it's treated me well.

Yup, sealed award of which will never see the light of day.

Filing a suit for for 1B is nonsense and will tick off a judge. Her layer(s) made a stupid move. Best friend of 40 years is a judge and he (like any good judge) likes to keep things in perspective.

Asset? My two vintage muscle cars, target shotguns (Perazzi), etc. are assets..not a damn cell phone. Maybe you got the rare Kim Khardashian Limited Edition iPhone though...

Humm, our sales reps (about 250) use corp Androids and never heard of a battery fire. I have heard of iPhone swollen batteries though..go visit a Apple store and even today, they still charge to change them out. Greed.

Done with everything Apple. ITunes is tedious and way too slow. Last iPhone was the 6 and it was usually 2 signal bars lower than my Motorola and battery life was poor. Apple software updates have always messed up my apps. Same with iPad..poor battery, poor camera, and iTunes work around is difficult. Go visit a Apple store and see lots of people waiting in line for a tech to solve their problems. Need more storage? Sorry, no SD card slot. Combine all of this with Apple's failure to implement ANY charitable giving and you have the epitome of corporate greed.

Why no Kodak Pixpro SP 360 4K? It's one of the hottest video cams with the video crowd. I've seen the video and it's a step up in color and clarity vs the Gopro. Even their Pixpro SP-1 kicks the GoPro and at half the price.

Regarding a 360 cam: Kodak Pixpro 360 has it now in 4K resolution..awesome video camera!

Sorry, Kodak 360 beat everyone to the punch. So this new startup company is trolling for money for a product that is already entrenched? Sounds like a good way to lose money.

First it was Global Warming, now it's climate change, so what's next? In the 70's it was Global Cooling. Throw in the the big money of carbon credits and you have some very skewed data by scientists who make a nice living off the doom and gloom. For balance from all the hysteria (and money) :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming

While at it, who owns Canon, Nikon, etc. Heck even the popular GoPro's are Chinese made. The Chinese camera mfg business is huge..almost all of the Panasonics are China made..does that make you concerned or suspicious? Seems like you and Edgar are bent on disparaging the licensee, JK Imaging. As a fyi, the cameras of theirs that I have shot with are very good performers.

Speaking of over priced GoPro's..the Kodak SP1 did very well in this side by side comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgN-MWL793Y

I'd say the Kodak shows better video image quality than the rest.

Theta (who named it?) is priced at $349. while the Kodak SP360 shows $269. with attachments at $269. on Amazon. Theta needs a housing to be in the water while the Kodak is water proof.

Gee Edgar, you should try Google..took it 6 seconds to find:http://kodakcamera.jkiltd.com/Americas/

Looks to be a very nice camera. That said, the best bang for the buck camera and sweetened with 2 lenses is the Kodak S-1. Been shooting mine for 6 months and very happy with the results from either jpeg or raw. I see it now on Costco (USA) for $379. for both the 12-45mm and 42.5-160mm. Smoking deal. Note that one does not need to be a Costco member to order, but their is a 2% up charge, but offset by free shipping. Love my Kodaks.

So Jeff, why no Kodak PIXPRO AZ522 (52x) or AZ651 (65x)? Also, why no Oly SP100 since it's also 50x? I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the AZ522's output.

Wish DPR had included the tried and true Fuji X-S1, Fuji S1, Kodak AZ522, Kodak AZ651 (65x), Panasonic FZ70, Panasonic FZ200, and the Oly SP100. I've shot most of these and they are all contenders with various trade offs. The IQ "sleeper" cam is the Kodak AZ522 IMO.

I'm a K50 shooter (formerly nikon D90) and have a few of these power zoom cams. Had this XG-1 and while macros and up to 400mm were fine, it had a definite focus problem..a bad copy, which can happen. I also have the Kodak AZ522 and it's a very good camera in it's class. I picked up a Panasonic FZ70 and while it's video is beautiful, the IQ is a let down. My all around favorite grab and go camera is my Fuji XS-1 as it's colors and EXR feature really work well.
And speaking of IQ on a screen: I print 11x13 and mostly 13x19 on my Canon Pro 100 printer and it's very difficult to see any loss of detail between my K50 and any of my small sensor cams. Above that size, yes there is a difference since the K50 holds lots of fine detail. At normal viewing on my monitor, they look fine. It's when I view them on my 27" Asus hd monitor I can then see the detail differences.
