The following was on Edupage today. Anyone have a comment to share about it? StuartKODAK DIGITAL CAMERA FOR UNDER $1,000
At a price of less than $1,000, Kodak's new digital camera, which delivers 1.2 pixels of information (or 1,280 by 960 dots on the screen) costs less than one-fourth of what cameras with similar capabilities have been selling for until now. Although the price is still thought to be too high to attract casual photographers, the camera is expected to appeal strongly to hobbyists and to professionals in real estate and other businesses. Digital cameras use a photosensitive chip (called a charged-coupled device) that resolves an image into pixels that can be transferred to a computer and transmitted over the Internet.
