Editors' Comments
The Slice is the company's first touchscreen camera, packing a decent 14 megapixel sensor, 5x optical stabilized Schneider-Kreuznach lens, and 720p HD video. It's a bit pricey, as touchscreen cameras tend to be, but it is the most head-turning Kodak we've seen in some time. Early user reviews are lukewarm, however. One interesting tidbit we picked up from an Amazon.com user review is that the purported 2GB of internal storage is actually a dubious claim. Sure, there may be 2GB of storage built into the camera, but almost all of it is used for the internal software; you'll only be able to take 10 pictures at 12 megapixels, so a memory card is still a must-buy. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Kodak.

Why does it "pay to be skeptical of any Kodak digicam these days"?

Because for the past three or four years, they've been making too many models that break like cheap toys after a few months or that just don't take good pictures. They seem to have turned a corner last year, with solid models like the Z950. Hopefully this year's models will turn out to be solid as well, but we can't ignore the sheer volume of complaints we've heard about Kodaks since about 2006 until we see consistently solid cameras.

Well done Kodak - Slice is great! (Rash — 05/23/2010)
Kodak's new camera range models are stylish and so user friendly. Sorting images and uploading to my facebook account has never been easier. Good work Kodak. I'm lovin it. My M530 rocks.

Kodak Slice Reviews by Digital Camera-HQ Users
- 1.0 out of 5
Hate it.
(AMY JOHNSON — 06/28/2010)
Just returned this. The touch screen does not work. Battery runs out fast. Zoom quality is very very very poor. The talked about 5000 picture internal memory really isn't that. You have to get a storage card. Camera kept shutting down on me and freezing like a computer would. The camera is not user friendly if you have someone else taking your picture. Kodak is not up to speed with the technology that needs to be to make this camera worth all the money. If Apple on the other hand made this camera I would buy it. This was the worst digital camera I have ever bought.

Not just a camera, a photobook
(Rash — 05/23/2010)
Kodka has surprised me with this lovely gizmo. It stores 5000 images and the best part is the sorting of images is so easy. WIth face recognition, I can tag my friends and then search for all their images in a jiffy. The one -button upload to facebook is a blessing. I upload images in less than 10 seconds.
Great work Kodak, at least you are thinking of what customers want rather than running in the mindless megapixel race.
