Best Video Kodak Digital Camera

Kodak pushes the imaging envelope with the first dual-lens digicam.

Color saturation was pretty good, but the increase in noise affected the color accuracy and saturation to a degree. *

The panorama features are pretty neat. Images were generally well-exposed, with saturated color and low purple fringing levels. Photo quality on the EasyShare V570 was good, but not great -- and fairly typical of what you'll find on most ultra compact cameras. Images were well-exposed and colorful, but on the soft and noisy side. The V570's VGA movie mode is quite nice (you can zoom during filming), and the MPEG-4 codec lets you record longer movies than on most other cameras. *

White balance options include Auto, Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Open Shade settings, which take advantage of Kodak's proprietary Color Science technology to achieve an accurate color balance under most lighting. The V570 is compatible with Kodak's EasyShare camera and printer docks, which offer hassle-free image downloading and printing. *

The V550 not only looks good, it is a genuinely capable digital camera that produces consistently super images by providing users with a well thought out array of easy to access picture perfecting tweaks and adjustments. Image Quality V550 purchasers won't have to trade image quality for convenience and ease of use; this camera's images are consistently excellent. *

This slick little camera (and its even slicker dock) makes short work of the entire picture-taking process but doesn't soar above the crowd in image quality.

This tiny five-megapixel digicam take pictures that will make you proud.

The bottom line:

The EasyShare P880 is a fairly large camera that looks more at home with D-SLRs than fixed-lens cameras. Purple fringing was non-existent, and noise levels are relatively low, considering the resolution of the camera. Color and exposure were generally accurate. Photo quality on the P880 was very good. It took well-exposed photos with accurate color, low noise and purple fringing, and just the right amount of sharpening. *

The P880 was designed to combine the sophisticated performance options and advanced creative capabilities of a dSLR with Kodak's signature user-friendly philosophy and legendary operational simplicity. *

Purple fringing was non-existent, and noise levels are relatively low, considering the resolution of the camera. P880 can shoot at ISO 800 and 1600, I did not include those in this test, because they are only saved at a tiny resolution (1024 x 768). Color and exposure were generally accurate, noise levels were reasonable for an 8MP camera, and purple fringing was minimal. Photo quality on the P880 was very good. *

Fast shooting and pleasing images in an easy-to-use design make the Kodak EasyShare V1253 an attractive--though not best-in-class--option.

This camera delivers detailed 720p video--a first for Kodak--but it falls flat when it comes to photos.

It looks smart, is a breeze to use, and takes top-notch photos. Can be lethargic when storing images. *

The V610 sometimes took clear, colourful photos at maximum zoom, but occasionally the camera experienced a few problems with focusing. *

Image quality is surprisingly good for a compact camera with such a long lens (or more accurately lenses). *

Displays the Original image and an automatically enhanced New version side-by-side. *

I found it fairly easy to send images (sorry, no video clips yet) from the camera to the computer, and vice versa. *

What makes this camera shine - its 10x zoom, ease of use and sleek design - may be enough to compensate for its shortcomings.
