- The before and after preview available with the Perfect Touch system is a nice touch on a great feature
- Well labeled and spatially positioned external controls
- Labeling of the onscreen settings for Scene modes
- Poor microphone placement will lead to meandering fingers easily masking this feature
- No manual white balance
- Severely truncated auto ISO range (80-160)
- Menus feature small text which is hard to differentiate tonally between itself and the color of the menu background
Conclusion
With a great linear menu structure, uncomplicated navigation of the LCD interface and minimal manual control concerns, the Kodak EasyShare V603 continues to improve upon the Kodak point-and-shoot foundation from previous years. The camera has a well designed external interface with generous amounts of room between controls that are a bit too petite, but the four-way controller, the most often used of these features, is well-sized and spaced for premium access.
The camera has an impressive 2.5-inch 230K LCD to better display the captured images from the 6.1 MP CCD and the 3x zoom. For the beginning or casual user, this camera will be a definite consideration; we have not formally tested it, but we can attest to the success of prior Kodak models in producing strong results in full auto mode. In addition to this, the 22 preset shooting modes should provide more than enough partial control opportunities to keep point-and-shooters busy for the near future.
If clean, uncomplicated design with a stylish body is wanted by the point-and-shoot crowd, the Kodak EasyShare V603 could be a contender in 2006. Check back for the full review when we’ll report on color accuracy, noise levels, low light and long exposure performance, resolution, dynamic range and other performance capabilities for our final judgment on the V603.

Nikon’s L810 is a AA-powered ultrazoom that somehow manages 26x for under $300. Some cost-cutting efforts have certainly been made, and controls are quite simplified, but for the right user this could be an ideal camera. Read More...
