Now the real trick is to see if anyone still has enough faith in the branding to actually buy enough of them to make the company viable again. Only time will tell that.

I would like to see a 'real life' picture taken at this zoom range. THAT more anything else would tell me if the camera is worth anything.

Would that be just a re-branded Fuji, or something?

The long zoom bridge camera market is fairly competitive these days; it seems like all the major brands are offering something in that category.

But a 52x zoom camera for around 300 Dollars... it could do quite well.

Very possibly, but Fuji's longest is the SL1000 at 50X, 24-1200mm zoom.
Kodak has introduced a whole line of cameras so it is actually possible they are produced in-house, or at least assembled in-house from farmed out components.

I call it the JK Enterprises Jaacx Distributing Pixpro Asia Optical Kodak camera. At 1248mm equivalent, it is the longest superzoom.

Their camera before this one was on the US market for a whole two months. Let's see how long this one lasts.
