An entry level DSLR, for most users, won't beat a top tier smartphone like Google pixel. A bulky professional DSLR is too much for most users. High quality mirorless cameras with ASPC or full frame size sensors are the only type of cameras that are relevant to mass consumers. If Kodak makes such a camera with a smartphone like interface, that would be interesting. They missed the opportunity.

You must have not used DSLRs or smartphones recently. A cheapo DSLR is just fine in point and shoot auto mode, and with its multi-cm lens it will get you much more satisfying pictures of your toddler running around or of your friends at the night-time BBQ than any pixel or iphone with pinhead-sized lenses. (And we are not even talking about the optical zoom and bokeh and a proper flash or other "advanced" features....)
