From the front, the Kodak EasyShare-one looks rather unassuming. It has the same multi-textured façade that the Kodak C340 employs. There is a brushed aluminum panel across the bottom with fine horizontal lines. The top panel is a matte silver color. Joining the two panels is a polished silver plate with the Kodak brand name and a slight incline where fingers will likely rest. To the right of this plate is the Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon 36-108mm 3x optical zoom lens, which is labeled as such. The lens extends in three segments and the black built-in lens cover snaps open when the camera is turned on. Just above the top left of the lens is a built-in microphone. Above the microphone is the built-in flash, which has a clear textured face. To the right of the flash are two circles; the left is the self-timer and video LED indicator and the right is the light sensor.

The back side of the EasyShare-one is a little more telling of its gadget status – when the LCD monitor is showing. The screen is tucked away with a two-paneled matte silver back and a Kodak EasyShare-one logo. The LCD monitor can fold out, rotate fully, then fold back into the camera body with the screen facing outward. In this position, the EasyShare-one fully assumes the look of a multi-function device.

 

 A 3-inch liquid crystal touch screen dominates the back, which has a white casing and silver lettering and buttons. The Kodak EasyShare-one logo shows up once again below the LCD screen. To the right of the screen are a few buttons. At the top is the teeter-totter zoom toggle with a ‘W’ on the left for the wide setting and a ‘T’ on the right for the telephoto setting. There are two buttons below this: Menu and Share. The Share button is the only button on the back that departs from the silver theme; it has a ruby red center instead. Below these two buttons is the multi-selector, encircling an “OK” button; the selector is like a shallow bowl with tag lines pointing in the four navigational directions. Below this feature are two more buttons: the top button has an arrow next to it and signifies the Review button and the other button is clearly labeled Delete. All of the buttons are separated with a shallow groove that is barely noticeable.

 

On the left side of the Kodak EasyShare-one is a rubber port cover that protects the DC in and USB / A/V out jacks. This cover is white, matching the panel it is located on. There is also a surrounding matte silver-colored panel that also includes the large hinge toward the back.

The two separate parts of the EasyShare-one, the LCD monitor and the body, can be seen from the right side. The body portion sits on the right and consists of a white panel set within the silver casing. At the top of the body is a silver rounded panel with a thin eyelet for the wrist strap and the stylus for the touch screen, which appears like a serrated edge because most of it rests within the camera. When the LCD monitor is facing outward, the record and playback switch appears at the top and the Info button sits at the bottom.

The two segments of this digital camera can be seen from the top as well, although there are no major features on the top of the monitor. There is only a small rubber pad on the top of the screen. On the left side of the body is a series of holes that acts as the built-in speaker. To its right is a recessed power button, followed by a smaller square button with a flash icon on it. A ‘4.0 Megapixels’ banner appears to the right of the flash button. Below this little billboard is the slot for the Kodak Wi-Fi card, which can be pushed in all the way so that it is hardly seen – although it must be sticking halfway out to connect to other networks. To the left of the slot is a tiny LED that flashes orange when the wireless card is connecting to a network and shows a steady green once connected. To the right of the card slot is the rectangular shutter release button.

The left side of the bottom is a plastic door with metal hinges that opens to the lithium-ion battery and the SD card slots. To the right of that is the dock connection port that fits onto the Kodak Printer Series 3. To its right is a standard tripod socket and a slew of information such as Eastman Kodak Company’s address and the camera’s serial number.
