Oryx It?
INT. KODAK BOARD ROOM, 2010
CEO
All right, folks. Give me the pitch for the newest camera. And remember our new company slogan: "Breadth and Depth, Like A Racing Oryx."
ENGINEER JILL
Right. It's called the Kodak EasyShare Z990, and it's a high-performance optical device with a user-friendly interface.
CEO
Great. It's obvious to me, but why doesn't somebody explain how this adheres to the new company principle of being "Like A Racing Oryx"?
MARKETING DIRECTOR RANDY
Sir, um…yes, I'm happy to. But I think we might need a little clarification on…
CEO
What is it? Spit it out. I'm a busy man.
MARKETING DIRECTOR RANDY
Well, on what a "Racing Oryx" is.
CEO
Are you kidding me? Haven't any of you ever been to the Great Oryx Races at Maputo?
EMPLOYEES SHAKE THEIR HEADS
CEO
Oh wow. Well, you all know what an oryx is…
EMPLOYEES COUGH AWKWARDLY
CEO
Oh for crying out…An oryx is one of the great savannah antelope. Enormous creatures, truly spectacular. And those who race them professionally insist that a good oryx is one that is wide enough to accommodate to a human body, but deep enough to cover ground quickly.
ENGINEER JILL
Ohhhhh. OK. So you want products that are user friendly (broad), but high performing (deep)?
CEO
Exactly.
ENGINEER JILL
Well, luckily that's exactly what this camera is. The 30x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens provides rich images...
CEO
Like UberOryx, last year's Triple Crown Winner.
ENGINEER JILL
Sure. And it features social network sharing and easy connectivity to your PC.
CEO
Like SLAMbyOryx, the most comfortable Oryx in history.
ENGINEER JILL
I suppose.
CEO
Excellent! Begin production of the camera immediately. If there are any hiccups, I'll be in Mozambique for the races.
MARKETING DIRECTOR RANDY
Sir, maybe we could come up with a slogan for the company that's a little less…out of touch.
CEO
Absurd! People can say what they will about Kodak, but they'll never be able to say that we're out of touch. I'm off!
Features
- Record full 1080 HD video with stereo sound, edit your pictures, and add creative borders, or make a picture from video and create action prints
- The 3.0" bright HVGA LCD features two times more resolution than standard displays with bright, vibrant details, and there's also a high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF), making it easier to compose photos in bright sunlight
- Simultaneously share to multiple social networks, e-mail and PULSE Digital Frame, automatically share when you connect to a PC, and tag to the largest number of social networks
- The CMOS sensor delivers higher quality pixels (better pixels are better than more pixels), and the BSI CMOS sensor delivers stunning low-light picture quality with less noise and less blur-no flash needed
- The 30x SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON Optical Zoom Lens (35 mm equivalent: 28-840 mm) zooms in faster and closer than ever to deliver crisp, steady shots for extraordinary creative performance
- The fast f/2.8 wide-angle 28mm lens captures dramatic shots in tight quarters or in front of spectacular landscapes, and optical image stabilization automatically minimizes camera shake to give you sharp, steady shots when shooting at long zoom ranges
- Program auto, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual modes give you maximum control over settings (including exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, metering, white balance, flash, and high-speed burst shooting of up to 40 frames @120fps at 1MP resolution)
- Portrait modes, landscape modes, bright scene (beach, snow, etc.) modes, action modes, text/document modes and manner/museum modes (when sound or flash are not desired)
- HDR (high dynamic range), Dramatic, Sequential, Panning, Night scene long exposure, and Intelligent portrait
- Emulate a favorite Kodak film--Kodachrome, Kodacolor, Ektachrome, Tri-X, T-Max--or sepia tone
- Automatic panorama mode captures a full 360 view or just the horizon-pan horizontally or vertically in a continuous burst until the shutter is released, and Photobooth capture mode stylizes a group of four consecutive photos as if taken in a photobooth
- Kodak's innovative Smart Capture feature automatically identifies the scene and adjusts camera settings for a great picture in just about any environment
- Intelligent scene detection analyzes the scene to give you better pictures under various conditions
- Intelligent capture control automatically sets camera settings for clear, sharp pictures even in low light and challenging situations
- Intelligent image processing reduces noise and clears up dark shadows for vibrant, crisp details and true-to-life colors
- Find, organize, and share your pictures easily--the Z990 automatically recognizes up to 20 pre-tagged faces so you can easily locate and share them later and recognizes up to five faces in a single image. Name tags carry over to your favorite photo management software for easy searching
