Digital Camera Review

- By Michael Chiusano
The Kodak C643 uses the company’s EasyShare docking system to simplify printing of snapshots, and it has a full range of competitive features such as a 30 fps movie mode, a large LCD screen and a full spectrum of shooting presets. The 6 megapixel point-and-shoot camera offers 3x zoom and a 2.4-inch display for $229.
Picture Quality / Size Options
Full picture resolution is 6 megapixels (2848 x 2134), with decreasing image sizes ranging from 5.4, 4, 1.9 and 0.8 megapixels. There is no adjustment for JPEG quality or compression. You can expect excellent 8 x 10-inch images from full resolution shooting, and the lowest resolution would come in handy for email attachments, eBay and so forth. Kodak says the full resolution images could be taken to prints of 20 x 30 inches, but we would have to be convinced of that with some solid testing results.
Picture Effects Mode
As mentioned, there are no playback adjustments for color, saturation, contrast or sharpness. This is a limited range set by Kodak in accordance with their philosophy of keeping the controls simple. There are however three basic color modes of color, sepia, and black and white.
