Kodak M1093 IS

ModesModel Design / Appearance
The Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS is a small and slim point-and-shoot camera. Available in both black and silver, the camera should fit in most pockets, unless you're prone to super-tight pants. The plastic construction of the M1093 IS feels solid, but the angular lines and small size means there's not a lot to grip. We feel that the camera is relatively attractive in an unobtrusive way.
Size and Handling
The M1093 IS is a small camera, but not the smallest we've seen. On the negative side, its diminutive proportions (3.75 x 2.3 x 0.84 inches / 95 x 58 x 21mm)) combined with a fairly angular design means there's not much to grip onto. We recommend you put a wrist strap on this one and use it, to prevent sudden vertical excursions and their unfortunate aftermath. We found the small joystick on the back a bit fiddly to use, and none of the buttons, aside from the shutter button, are what you'd call comfortably large. We did find the 3-inch LCD practical and attractive.
The camera's small size and slick plastic make us worry about drops.
There is only a single menu interface on the Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS, simplicity that befits its consumer orientation. Press the menu key to bring up a tabbed interface. The first tab gives you options for the particular mode that you find yourself in. The second tab presents general settings for the camera. You navigate the menu using the joystick, which we found a little bit fiddly due to its small size.
Ease of Use
Due to its simple menu interface and mostly automatic features, this is an easy camera to use. Just pick it up, set it to Automatic and start shooting. The Program mode gives you a few more options to play with, but even here you only have a handful of settings to adjust. The M1093 IS is definitely a camera novices will like.
