Digital Camera Review

When the Kodak EasyShare-one was announced in January 2005 at the Consumer Electronics Show, it made quite a buzz. The EasyShare-one was touted as the next big thing in digital photography because it is the first consumer Wi-Fi-enabled digital camera. After enjoying CES stardom, the EasyShare-one was slated to hit retail shelves in June. The spring came and went and the EasyShare-one was delayed again and again until October. Finally, this long awaited camera is available for purchase.
The Kodak EasyShare-one has 4 megapixels, a 3x Schneider-Kreuznach 3x optical zoom lens, and a large 3-inch touch screen LCD with 230,000 pixels. The large screen, coupled with 256 MB of internal memory, makes the EasyShare-one a viable hybrid model – fusing digital imager with digital photo album. The built-in album can store up to 1,500 photos in folders or a calendar-type setup. However, the Kodak EasyShare-one’s most impressive innovation is clearly its wireless capabilities, of course. The camera can sync with wireless personal computers, laptops, and printers – including the optional Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3.
