The Kodak EasyShare V570 is definitely targeted at beginners. It provides impressive results if used in auto mode as a simple point-and-shoot camera. At the same time, as consumers become more familiar with this camera, they would obviously want to tweak a few settings. The V570 will let them do that as well, albeit to a limited extent. It will let you set exposure compensation, white balance, color mode, sharpness as well as ISO speeds to allow select flexibility. Unlike some of the cameras with a complicated menu system, the V570 lets you set these pretty easily and without much fuss.

Photo quality on the EasyShare V570 was good, but not great -- and fairly typical of what you'll find on most ultra compact cameras. Images were well-exposed and colorful, but on the soft and noisy side. You may encounter some blurriness in the corners, as well. As you'd expect on this ultra compact camera, redeye is a problem... There are a few other negatives worth mentioning. The V570's tiny flash not only produces redeye, but it's pretty weak as well. Straight out of the box, you cannot connect to a computer or television without using the included camera dock -- though Kodak (and only Kodak) sells an adapter that gets around this. In addition, the camera and dock only support the slow USB 2.0 Full Speed standard.

The Kodak V570 presents an interesting problem for us. It's a camera with a lot in the plus column and a lot in the minus column; yet it still nets out as a positive experience. We really like the camera for its unique dual lens arrangement that includes a surprisingly useful 23mm wide angle lens, but its image quality really isn't as good as it could be for a 5 megapixel camera.

The 5300's print quality is very good. Text on plain paper is sharp and well-defined, even in very small point sizes. Photo quality is excellent on Kodak's Premium and Ultra papers, with realistic flesh tones, excellent saturation, accurate colors, and no hint of banding. On plain paper and Kodak's inexpensive regular photo paper, however, colors are less vibrant, more reminiscent of standard, non-photo-inkjet output. For printing quick, casual snapshots, the Kodak EasyShare 5300 delivers on its low-cost promise. But getting the best results from the printer requires the higher-end paper?and possibly dealing with some failed prints and scans while Kodak works out its printer-driver issues.

The KODAK EASYSHARE 5300 All-in-One Inkjet Printer delivers powerful and sophisticated printing, scanning and copying performance. Perfect for people who enjoy printing crisp, sharp documents and KODAK lab-quality photos at home. The KODAK EASYSHARE 5300 AiO Printer includes a 3-inch color LCD display for easy photo viewing and editing, and works with most memory cards. Best of all, you can save up to 50 percent on everything you print.

In the modern home, inkjet printer's dominate consumer offerings. Significant evolutionary improvements in quality and speed have taken place with ink jet print technology, but it's still a bit on the expensive side to do volume photo printing at home. All of the Easyshare series of printers, the 5100, 5300, and 5500 (the top model, the 5500 will be released in June) use the same black and color-photo ink cartridges. Through Kodak's development of a new type of MEMS print head which is separate from the cartridges (unlike most of it's competitors), they have been able to aggressively price their cartridges at $9.99 and $14.99 respectively.

When Kodak announced its new EasyShare line of all-in-ones (AIOs), it garnered a lot of attention. Not only was Kodak venturing into new territory with AIOs aimed for the home and home office, it claimed its ink prices were low enough to cut printing costs by up to half compared with the competition. I tested the first EasyShare AIO?the Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-In-One printer ($200 street)?and the news is largely good. The 5300 may not be a home run, but it's at least arguably a triple, and that's not bad for a first time at bat.

The ink-jet was essentially the end of the line for printer makers. By sticking some tiny holes in an ink bottle and hooking those selfsame holes up to electricity, you got a pretty passable imitation of most other high-resolution printing technologies at a price that is quite acceptable. So we were OK with inkjet printers. It wasn?t a cool color laser printer but we?d buy one and print out some photos. Fair enough. But suddenly in cartridges started costing $40 for black and white and $60 for color. Well, Kodak pulled back the curtain on a minor inkjet evolution and I?m happy to say that they done good.

Design of The EasyShare V610 is very beautiful. Twin lens CCD system is a good solution to the limitations of lens size that keeps most ultra compact cameras firmly in the 3x zoom range

The Kodak V610 is incredibly small. Its just less than an inch thick and is the world`s smallest camera ever with a 10x optical zoom.
