The Kodak EasyShare V803 fits into a growing market of gadgets that double as fashion accessories. The Kodak camera comes in eight colors and has standard point-and-shoot features including a 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD screen. Beyond the basic specs, the updated EasyShare camera has a sensitivity range up to 1600 ISO and a new Maintain Settings function that stores a user’s frequently used camera settings. The Kodak EasyShare V803 launched in January 2007 with a $199.95 introductory price.

Picture Quality / Size Options (6.5)
Users can select image size but not compression quality. Image size options are: 8.0, 7.1 (3:2), 4.9, 3.1, 2.5, 2.1, and 1.2 megapixels. Neither the camera’s playback EXIF data display nor menus indicate exact pixel resolution, which isn’t critical but could be helpful for users looking to post smaller files to the Web. Although not specified, the equivalent of the largest picture size is 8.0 megapixels (3264 x 2448) and the smallest picture size is 1.2 megapixels (1280 x 960).
Picture Effects Mode (6.0)
During shooting, users can apply some special effects to images. Users can capture photos in high color, natural color, low color, sepia, and black and white. The camera allows users to preset Color modes for capture, but doesn’t include built-in color editing, meaning users can shoot a photo in black and white, but won’t be able to change a color photo to black and white in the camera. The Kodak camera also allows users to control sharpness during shooting with sharp, normal, and soft settings.
