I have been eagerly awaiting these sample images for the Kodak, but the quality is dreadful. I downloaded the two tiff portraits of the model and the skin tones look like pure rubber. There must be something wrong here I think. There is also a total lack of contrast, but raising it in Photoshop just produces results that become garish.
The image of the baby appeared better at first glance, however, bringing it up to 100% showed questionable sharpness (surely Kodak has a choice of more than one image...) still artificial looking skin and a rather worrying amount of noise before any sharpening was added. Finally I looked at the fruit image, but this again looked like pure paste had been applied over the top of the image. A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a similar image for the canon D60 that was a 1000% better. The way I see it there are 4 possibilities: 1) Its a lemon 2) The person who chose the images is incompetent 3) Kodak doesn't want to show its cards to early 4) The camera is no where near release point and still needs a load of development. No matter what the answer is, these sample images won't do Kodak any good in the camera shops.
