Kodak Unveils A New Smartphone Designed Specifically For Photographers

Kodak and Bullitt Group just unveiled the new KODAK EKTRA smartphone designed specifically for photographers. It features a 21-megapixel fast focus camera sensor with f2.0 aperture, and an industry leading 13-megapixel front-facing camera with Phase Detection Auto Focus PDAF and f2.2 aperture.

The custom built camera app is controlled by an intuitive haptic touch, SLR-style Scene Selection Dial, where adjustments are made in real time via a range of settings including HDR, Landscape, Portrait, Macro, Sport, Night-time, Panorama and Bokeh, alongside a Smart Auto mode which auto-selects the best conditions for your photographs. In Manual mode, more advanced users can adjust exposure, ISO, focus, white balance and shutter speed, with the results being visible on the screen as changes are made.

The KODAK EKTRA Smartphone has a dedicated dual press shutter button in the horizontal style of traditional cameras. The device also features a Super 8 app, providing professional effects reminiscent of Kodak’s iconic Super 8 film stocks. A lightning-fast HELIO X20 Decacore processor powers the ANDROID Marshmallow smartphone.

This beauty will be priced at £449 and available across Europe later this year.

I feel like this would only really be for a very specific audience, as it's too expensive for someone who doesn't take many photographs, but if you're a legitimate, professional photographer you wouldn't WANT your camera to also be a phone and would instead just have at least one high quality camera.

A pro, or even amateur photographer is likely to have a high quality 'system' camera already. This is aimed more at replacing compact cameras in my mind, which is very attractive to me - that is, a camera you can take anywhere which has manual adjustments and produces decent results. I don't think it's that niche, apart from the price, which is comparable to any high end smartphone.
