CES 2017 wrap up on the road from Las Vegas | #PNWeekly 234
The CES show floor is closed for business. While we love Vegas, we also enjoy heading back home after a long week of covering tech. Jaime decided to hitch a ride back with Juan this year, and we thought it would be a great opportunity to capture our post show conversations, and turn them into this podcast you’re about to hear, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the inane ramblings of two exhausted tech editorialists.
For folks watching our normal shows live, you can comment and ask questions by using the #PNWeekly hashtag on Twitter during the broadcast. For folks watching later, you can shoot your listener emails to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air the following week!

Kodak Orbit360 4K VR Action Camera: CES 2017 Hands-On (Video)
We love seeing companies improve their products. The Kodak Pixpro SP360 was one of the first cameras to properly support 360 degree horizontal video, but only in a vertical half dome. The next camera fixed that, but only if you bought two cameras and bolted them together, but now we arrive at the Orbit 360 4K. Properly including two twenty megapickle image sensors, each with an ultra wide angle lens, capable of producing fully spherical 4K videos.
The standard set of tricks is of course included. NFC pairing, with Bluetooth and wifi radios to pair with android and iOS devices. Micro SD card support for up to 128GB cards, and the Orbit will have a mic input and HDMI output, adding quite a bit of flexiblilty to the built in hardware and phone based app control. Kodak will also be selling an optional Bluetooth controller which can be mounted to Steadicam mounts or selfie sticks.

Kodak Super 8 Camera and the Return of Ektachrome Film (Video)
“Super 8” is no longer just a memory for indie film makers of old or those who grew up with old film cameras, like our own Juan Carlos Bagnell. It’s not even just a filter inside custom camera apps you can download to your smartphone. The Kodak Super 8 Camera makes a comeback at CES 2017, and, while this is definitely not our main scope of coverage, we do have a lot of photography enthusiasts (and experts) among the members of our team, and our kick-ass readers and viewers.
This camera combines the old with the new: it uses Super 8 film cartridges — each with 50 feet of film inside — while at the same time it is rocking an articulated LCD to frame your composition, a jog dial for mode selection, SD card expansion, HDMI output, as well as line-in for audio input.
Included in the price of processing, Kodak will produce 4K video scans for editing or sharing footage, because not everyone will use a projector to show off their creations.
If you think that capturing moments on a new Kodak Super 8 camera is cooler (or just different) than using a smartphone in your pocket, you’ll love this. Check out our video and tell us what you think: what’s old is new again? Is retro back?

Kodak Ektra is a new ‘photography-first’ Android smartphone that doesn’t look half bad
Virtually all high-end smartphones are competent camera phones these days, with super-advanced technologies in tow like Dual Pixel or dual lens snappers, 16, 21 or even 23 megapixel counts, fancy sensors, laser autofocus, ultra-wide aperture, and a bunch of other neat tricks up their sleeves that frankly work in very mysterious ways to make DSLRs obsolete.All things considered therefore, it takes guts to come out in late 2016 with a “photography-first smartphone” that, from a certain angle, looks more like a dedicated point-and-shoot cam than a phone.Then again, Kodak really doesn’t ...

First Kodak smartphone launches with 13MP camera
CES is usually a time when we look forward to the latest mobile devices from established brands, but occasionally a new player arrives to give us a taste of something different. This year we came to the expo anticipating just such a launch, having heard that the first Kodak-branded smartphone was getting ready to make its debut. OK, so the company behind it, Bullitt, is no stranger to the market, but we were still anxious to see if this new association with Kodak would lead to the development of some impressive ...
