Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera Reviews:

The Kodak name has been synonomous with photography and cameras in this country for over a century. With the advent of digital photography, Kodak has faced serious challenges along with declining sales and a falling stock price, as consumer have freed themselves from the expense of buying film and film processing and printing services. Kodak has moved into the digital photography marketplace in a number of ways. They purchased the Ofoto.com online photo sharing and printing site a few years ago and turned it into the Kodak EasyShare Gallery (Kodakgallery.com), where they try to leverage their experience in the world of photo printing. They also early on developed a line of Kodak digital cameras to take advantage of the new opportunity in hardware sales to replace their photo and chemical business that was disappearing.




The Kodak line of digital cameras has always been pretty well received, but the marketplace is crowded with excellent competing digital cameras from Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, and a host of others. Kodak came up with the EasyShare line of cameras a few years ago, and they have produced a long line of successful products.

Best Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera Models

Kodak makes a complete like of EasyShare Cameras. The Point and Shoot models include the C142, C195, C143, and M530. The High Zoom model include the Z981, and Z1012. Some of the ultra compact digital cameras also capture VGA video. The EasyShare One are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you upload your pictures to the Internet, as well as browse pictures stored on the Internet. This makes it a breeze to email pictures to your loved ones. Reviews for the M575 are near perfect and at $130 the price is just right for a point and shoot digital camera. The 14 megapixel resolution lets you print out photos up to 30 x 40 inches. The features also include 5x optical zoom and 28mm wide angle lens. Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (you buy them separately) and the Kodak EasyShare Software makes it easy to store the photos on your hard drive or upload them for online sharing. You can edit, organize, or email the photos once they have been transferred to your hard drive. Many owners say they like that you can capture HD video on the camera. The Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are a nice bonus - no having to buy new batteries all the time. View top rated Kodak digital cameras here.

Kodak EasyShare One Digital Camera

Their most recent lineup is the EasyShare One camera, one of the most advanced internet-enabled cameras ever built. The EasyShare One is a 4MP camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 3X optical zoom, making it sort of a middle range consumer model, with resolution more than adequate for normal family and vacation photography. It sells for just under $500. The EasyShare One is really designed for photo sharing from the ground up. It has a large 3" LCD touchscreen that rotates and flips out and lets you share up to 1500 stored digital photos with your friends, and amazingly it has built in WIFI capabilities allowing it to connect to WiFi internet connections wirelessly, allowing direct picture emailing and online album viewing by connecting to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery site. So anywhere you find a WiFi hotspot, whether at home, at a hotel on vacation, at an internet cafe, or a coffee shop, you can transmit your pictures to their server for safe keeping, or you can download and view any other photos or digital photo albums you have stored there. Unlike most digital cameras that come with 8 or 32MB of internal memory, the EasyShare One comes with 256MB of built-in memory for storing for favorite digital pics or taking new pics. You can also get a WiFi printer allowing for wireless printing connectivity. The EasyShare Ones also take VGA 30 frame per second video clips, using an SD/MMC card expansion slot for storing as many videos or pictures as your memory cards allow.

Some people complain that the price is too high for a 4MP camera and expect 6MP or 8MP at that price, but given the sophisticated, if slow, networking capabilities of this camera, it really is a unique product and may portend what we will be seeing in the future for digital cameras as networked devices, giving us access to the contents of our home networks and the internet from anywhere in the world once technologies like WiMAX become prevalent.
