Kodak EX1011 Digital Frame Review by Thinkcamera

ex1011-kodak-digital-picture-frame.jpegWe've been looking at the Kodak EX1011 and wondering how it measures up to other digital frames out there. Thinkcamera has a review on the Kodak EX1011 where they write, 'It does loads of stuff. More than any other picture frame you have owned (probably). There's 128 MB of internal memory, a card reader for most memory cards and a direct USB link to hook it to your computer or directly to a thumbdrive. Oh and WiFi too. Set it up and if your computer has WiFi then you can just “publish” pictures to it and they will display. Getting pictures onto a photo frame has never been so easy... If you want the best display you can get from a digital picture frame with ultimate connectivity then dig deep and buy yourself a Kodak 1011. As soon as you've forgotten the price you'll love it.'

Kodak EasyShare v610 Review by Cameras.co.uk

kodak-easyshare-v610.jpgA review of the Kodak EasyShare v610 was done by Cameras.co.uk where they write, 'The Kodak Easyshare V610 is a very slim digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens. In fact at the time of writing this review the Easyshare V610 is the smallest digital camera available with such a long zoom.' '...Kodak should be applauded for their ambition when building the Easyshare V610. In my view there are a few compromises when it comes to image quality, but if you want a pocket sized digital camera with a very long zoom lens this is the only camera available.'

Kodak EasyShare v610 Review by DPexpert

kodak-easyshare-v610.jpgThe folks at DPexpert have a review on the Kodak EasyShare v610 where they write, 'The Kodak EasyShare v610 6 megapixel digital camera is “the world’s smallest 10x optical zoom digital camera” according to the company’s publicity. It uses the dual lens setup that first appeared on the V570. The lens in use when the camera is turned on covers the range from 38–114mm (the standard 3x zoom in film equivalent focal lengths) then, as the zoom control is moved up, the tele lens comes into effect, giving a range of 130–380mm. The switch is imperceptible.'

'When the Kodak v610 hits its sweet spot the picture quality is superb. Auto white balance, colour, focus, image resolution and detail are outstanding. The V610 will render every feather on a bird and every vein on the petal of a flower. Images have the typical punchy Kodak look, bright without being garish. Sadly the V610 doesn’t do it every time. More often the picture is blurred and useless.'

'No image stabilisation; noisy (grainy) LCD and very slow write time to the SD memory card meaning a long pause between shots. The camera reverts to Auto every time it is turned on. Preferred setting can be stored in a custom Scene Mode and recalled with a couple of button presses. Cumbersome' A nice review of the Kodak Easyshare v610.

Kodak EasyShare C875 Preview by Cnet

kodak-easyshare-c875-sp.jpegThe group at CNET has done a preview on the Kodak EasyShare C875 where they write, 'The C875 includes Smart Scene, a relatively new feature from Kodak that lets the camera automatically choose from among a handful of its 21 scene modes, depending on the subject. For example, if the camera detects a face in the photo, it will automatically switch to portrait scene mode. If the camera detects a great deal of light, it will automatically switch to beach/snow mode. This feature could be very handy to users who want to take advantage of the camera's various settings but don't want to dive through menus. Once the photo is shot, you can use the built-in Kodak Perfect Touch image-processing technology to tweak the final image.' ' The Kodak EasyShare C875 ships at the end of August, with a suggested retail price of $300.'

Kodak Easyshare V570 Review by Cameras.co.uk

kodak-easyshare-v570-sp.jpgA review of the Kodak Easyshare V570 has been completed by Cameras.co.uk where they state, 'The Kodak Easyshare V570 is a good idea, but the camera is let down by the sharpness of the images it produces. It is easy to use and will also slip into a pocket without a problem. Taking into account current prices of other five megapixel, pocket sized cameras I feel there are better bets elsewhere.' 'The Easyshare V570 is available in black. In terms of shape it is a rectangle with dimensions of 101 × 49.8 × 20.4 mm. None of the edges are rounded and it presents quite a stark form. It weighs in at 125g.'

Kodak Easyshare Z612 by Digital Camera Review

kodak-easyshare-Z612-sp.jpegA review of the Kodak Easyshare Z612 has been completed by Digital Camera Review where they state, 'The Kodak Easyshare Z612 does an excellent job outdoors in good light, but indoor images tend to be a bit flat. ISO 80 and ISO 100 shots are consistently very good to excellent. ISO 200 shots show minor levels of noise and slightly decreased detail (darker colors showed some minor blotching and noise is visible in shadow areas). ISO 400 shots are much too noisy for anything beyond e-mail and 3x5 prints. Chroma/Luminance noise (blotching) is a bit above average and Chromatic aberration (purple fringing) is also above average, but very well controlled. I didn't try the 1.1 megapixel ISO 800 option.

Pros were: Very good image quality, image stabilized 12X zoom, 2.5 inch LCD screen

Cons were: No RAW or TIFF format, too shiny, No manual white balance option, poor macro/close-up capability'

Kodak EasyShare v610 Review by Imaging Resource

kodak-easyshare-v6101.jpgThe great group at Imaging Resource has a review on the Kodak Easyshare v610 where they talk about the camera and say, 'With the Kodak EasyShare V610, we found that it had enough resolution to make very crisp 8x10 inch prints at low ISO, and acceptable ones up to ISO 200. At 11x14, its prints were softer looking, but probably adequate for wall or table display. ISO 400 images were OK marginal at 5x7 inches, and looked just fine at 4x6. ISO 800 images were marginal at 5x7, OK (but not great) at 4x6. Color-wise, the Kodak V610's images looked great when printed on the i9900, with very bright, vibrant color. Users who prefer more subdued, technically accurate color saturation levels may find the reds and blues in the V610's images a little too bright, but most consumers will probably find the V610's bright, snappy images very appealing.'

Kodak Easyshare V570 Review by Thinkcamera

kodak-easyshare-v570-sp.jpgThe folks at Thinkcamera have a review on the Kodak Easyshare V570 where they say, 'Again the Kodak gives good solid results rather than outstanding ones. Image quality is certainly acceptable but from the quality feel of the camera I was hoping for something more.' 'The ultra wide lens sets it apart from pretty well anything else on the market and if that's what you are looking for then this is the camera for you. Other features are adequate rather than outstanding but it does the job. The looks and build quality also set it apart from other similar cameras. If you want a camera for wide angle use and landscapes then this will more than satisfy and will also work well as a general camera.

Kodak EasyShare v610 Review by Think Camera

kodak-easyshare-v610.jpgThe Kodak Easyshare v610 was under review recently at Think Camera where they write, 'The v610 is ready to shoot a couple of seconds after pressing the power button and shutter lag is a relatively low 0.3 seconds. Shot to shot time is a respectable 1.1 second and in burst mode you can shoot 8 frames at 1.6 frames per second.' 'The screen also isn't as sharp as is could be. There are plenty of pixels in the twin CCDs and the lens is decent enough but if you look at your pictures they can look blurred on the screen when they really aren't - the lesson here is not to delete pictures from the camera but check them on your computer first.'

Kodak EasyShare Z650 Review by CNET

kodak-z650-01-sp.jpgA review by CNET on the Kodak EasyShare Z650 was posted where they say, ' You'd expect Kodak to cut some corners with its budget-conscious superzoom, the EasyShare Z650, and you'd be right.' 'One-handed shooting is definitely possible with the prominent, rubber-accented right-hand grip, though we found that our pinkie fingers were left dangling uncomfortably. A rubber ring on the lens barrel provides a perfect left-hand grip, which should help when shooting at longer focal lengths. Dedicated buttons for flash, macro/landscape mode, and drive mode sit atop the grip, along with the shutter button and on/off switch.'
