Kodak EasyShare M1073IS 10.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Review
This is my first real digital camera and I LOVE it! It’s easy to use, but, like any good toy, challenging enough to keep your interest as you learn all of the features. (I usually find the best deals at Amazon, but found this at another on-line store for 0, and that included a 2 GB memory card.) Basically everything you need to know can be found on the LCD Screen. Each time you change settings, it tells you what the current setting is for, so you’re not constantly referring to the user guide. It even has a “Help” feature. The pictures are great; I haven’t had any problems getting great pics in the dark; putting the camera in Scene (SCN) mode gives you a wide variety of lighting options. Video is great and easily uploads to my computer via the USB cable and Easy Share software. I have taken several minutes of video but am still unsure of how much video you can take with a 2 GB card. I love being able to create still shots from whatever video frames I want. Also love being able to “stitch” three shots together into one panoramic picture. Besides the optional date stamp, you can add text and audio tags to your pictures, tag pictures as favorites, lock them so they aren’t accidentally deleted, and add e-mail addresses to share photos when uploaded. The basic features (zoom, b/w,sepia, etc) work great also. Packaging included a clear plastic base, which works as a great stand for charging the camera and is also a makeshift tripod for capturing video. Kodak recently upgraded their Easy Share software to v7.1 which includes a scrapbooking feature. Free download is available from their website. You can do some editing right on the camera, but the software allows more editing features. As for size, I carry a very small purse and this camera fits nicely into one of the pockets- I don’t leave home without it. The one downside is that the camera does not have a viewfinder and it can be difficult to see the LCD screen in bright sunlight. I will continue to work on that, but in the meantime- I just do my best to get the image I want and edit it later. All in all, I would highly recommend this camera.
