In addition to 2GB of internal storage, the 14-megapixel camera has a 3.5-inch touchscreen that looks sharp during image playback. You can also tag images of people with their names via an onscreen keyboard, then sort all the images on the device by name. The camera also has a search function for locating images of specific people (just as long as you've already tagged them).
Although it doesn't have built-in wireless connectivity, the Slice does have other sharing-friendly features that are accessed using the camera's onscreen Share button. You can tag images and video for upload to popular sites while they're still on the camera, and plugging the camera into a USB port uploads your content without needing to do much work on the computer end of the equation.
The Kodak Slice is slated for availability in the spring at $350, in black, silver, and the vegetarian-friendly radish pink.
Sub-$200 EasyShare Cameras Include a Pocket Megazoom
A group of new sub-$200 Kodak EasyShare cams also offer some of the sharing features of the Slice, letting you designate photos for upload to Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and Kodak Gallery. All of the new M series cameras are due in the spring.
Kodak also announced two 12-megapixel compact cameras: the 5X optical zoom EasyShare M550 ($150), and the 3X optical zoom EasyShare M30, which will cost $130.
