The home movie camera that gave rise to innumerable amateur videographers is back. The prototype Kodak displayed at CES had a 3.5-inch fold-out screen, so you won't need to close one eye and peer through a viewfinder to see what you're capturing.
Details otherwise are scant, though images show an SD card slot and various cable sockets, so the footage you capture may not exist only on a Kodak film cartridge.
Also, when you send footage to Kodak for processing, you'll receive a digital copy, so Kodak is somewhat in tune with the modern video recording. It's antiquated even to consider sending one's footage away for processing -- yet it brings a physicality and a sense of romance that digital video can't match. I hope the world isn't quite finished with filming kids' birthday parties with a Super 8 camera.
