The new Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is an excellent 10.2 megapixel point and shoot camera. Although you must have come across a number of outstanding cameras from Kodak during the recent months the new Kodak M1073 IS does not inspire the same type of design at yoru first look. The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS has already been out in the market that can be owned for nearly £199.
The Design
The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is available in a choice of pink, black, red or silver colour and is a very clearly styled camera with boxy front and a small gold and silver lens ring. One of the best things is that the flash is positioned perfectly away from the lens that decreased on red-eye. Behind the device is a small model wheel that does not get around in any direction which is crushed silver clickpad. There is also a decent sized screen of about 69mm. you will also find dedicated buttons for playback, menu, flash, sharing and to delete. This lets the images to add to email address and share or even to easily print. There is also the charge plug including a USB connection which means that you can use the same cable to charge and transfer the pictures.
Features
The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is designed with 3x optical zoom including a 35mm equivalent focal length which is around 32 to 96mm and at the middle of the compact device in wide angles terms. Digital blur reduction and optical image stabilization are also included in this basic snapper device. There is a sticker at the front which trumpets high definition stills, however the HD is considerably smaller that the 10 megapixel. The digital camera would just shoot 640×480 pixelof VGA video at nearly 15 different frames every second with mono sound and without camera editing. You also have the option to print the contact sheet like frames in your video. Some other features include face detection including the option to combine three shots into one through the panorama stitch mode. You can also tag the images with sound clips or with text tags that you can also select from the generic presets. Most of the people will like the transparent menu feature but it would be more useful when the menus could actually preview the effect which is changed through the scroll options. The menus are very short and a maximum of 8 menus shoot up with nearly 13 menu options in the settings menu.
The Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS is a bit slower when started as it takes around 4 to 5 seconds to take the first image. The burst mode is rather very quick which takes four images in just two seconds. The screen of the device goes black when shooting which is rather not beneficial swhen you track the action like a sports shot. However you will not find any problem with the vignetting, barrel distortion and the excessive purple fringing. The capturing of image is pretty fine but after a little control over the exposure and you should also find out the automatic settings of the device.
