Kodak has been in the camera and film business for more years than most of us have been alive. The company makes a full line of digital cameras, film, and other electronic products like camcorders and digital frames today.

The company has announced a new digital camera that will ship in August for $279.99 called the EasyShare Z950. The camera uses a 10x zoom lens with optical image stabilization. The camera also uses Kodak’s Smart Capture feature.

Hot on the heels of their Zi8 HD camcorder, the company has also announced a new media-adapter, the Kodak Theatre HD Player. It’s designed to plug directly into your HDTV with your home network, via WiFi or ethernet.

The Theatre HD Player does what you might expect, it can display images, video, music and web content. It includes a “point and play” remote, a motion-sensitive controller that acts like a mouse but you won’t need a flat surface.

I am a big fan of digital photo frames and we have several of them around our house. I have seen several portable frames over the years with small screens and batteries that allow people to carry photos with them on the go to show off.

Kodak has announced a new portable battery powered digital photo frame called the S730. The frame isn’t really intended to go on the road with you, but to allow you to unplug the device and pass it around at family functions.

If you are looking for a pocket-sized video camera, chances are you’ll want to check out the Kodak Zx1, which will be released in April 2009. This model is priced at $150. What you get is a weather-resistant video camera that offers high definition recording at 720p at 60 fps.

Other features include SD/SDHC memory card slot (up to 32GB), HDMI output, a 2 inch LCD display and remote control compatible. Available in black, red, pink, blue and yellow, the Zx1 can even capture video in low-light conditions. It’s better looking and more rugged then it’s predecessor, the Zi6.

Since I have two young kids I tend to take lots of digital pictures. For the most part the pictures sit around on my memory card until it gets full and I copy them to a folder on my hard drive. Recently I have started getting digital photo frames and actually displaying the digital photos that usually just sit there and do nothing.

Kodak introduced a couple new digital picture frames today called the M820 and the M1020. The M820 is an 8-inch frame and the M1020 is a 10-inch frame. Both share the same features including 16:9 aspect ratio, 128 MB of internal memory and built-in speakers to play MP3 tunes. Card readers are built-in that allow direct connecting of CF, SD, MMC, xD, and MS.

Kodak has unveiled a small army of new digital imaging products for the consumer market, including three digital cameras, a HD television dock and a digital picture frame. One of the more interesting items from this lime up is the EasyShare Z812 IS zoom digital camera.

The Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS, priced at around $300 and available now, offers up eight-megapixels of resolution and a SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH 12x optical zoom lens. It is capable of capturing still images (16:9 aspect ratio) and video (720p at 30fps). You’ll also find this camera sports features like optical image stabilization and ISO settings up to 3200.

Today Kodak announced its first Easyshare camera that utilizes the companies new KAC-05011 CMOS image sensor. The Easyshare C513 is a point-and-shoot model targeting the entry-level camera buyer. What really makes this camera stand out aside from the new, higher quality CMOS sensor is the price tag. At a mere $99 the novice photographer can get a 5 megapixel camera that helps them take high quality photos with minimal shooting experience.

Digital cameras with CMOS sensors have traditionally been a little cheaper than those with CCD as they cost a little less to make but also didn’t have the image quality you would find with a CCD. This new CMOS image sensor from Kodak promises to provide an affordable digital camera without skimping on the picture quality or the functionality of the actual camera.

The C513 also has 3x optical zoom, digital stabilization, can capture …

Kodak is bringing out four new ultra compact cameras this month priced affordably for the casual shutterbug. The Kodak EasyShare M753 ($149), M853 ($179), M873 ($199), and M883 ($229) have 21 automatic shooting modes including a panorama stitching mode, a two-shot self-timer mode, MPEG-4 video capture capability, a neutral-density filter, a center-weighed metering option and shutter speeds ranging from 1/1400 and four seconds. All of the EasyShare cams have a 2.5-inch LCD screen on their backside except for the M883’s which is 3-inches while conversely they all feature 8-megapixel photo sizes except for the M753 which only takes 7-megapixels shots. The four models all offer a 3x zoom lens and a 640×480 photo capture at 15fps or 320×240 at 30fps.

First to hit market is the M753 in June and in a selection of black, silver, …

Kodak pushes on the megapixel race a little further with a new 12, yes, 12 megapixel digital camera called the EasyShare Z1275.

In addition to the mega-megapixel’s, this camera has 5x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogo optical zoom, a 2.5 inch LCD viewer and saves images to either a Memory Stick Duo or SD card. You may also notice the little “HD” label on the front, which is indicative of the MPEG4 video recording this camera can do at a resolution of 1280 x 720.

You can get your hands on this 12 megapixel shooter for a mere $249, but in order to keep that low price with all those megapixels Kodak had to forfeit some other somewhat common features like any kind of viewfinder other than the LCD screen. You’ll have to keep a steady hand since there is no type of image stabilization. …

Kodak’s new EasyShare C613 and C763 digital cameras won’t hurt you too much in your wallet, purse or murse, whatever object you happen to call your own.

Priced at $120 and $180 respectively, the two models have nice and big LCD screens on their backs (2.4-inch and 2.5-inch, again respectively, with a maximum of 640 x 480 video resolution), decent ISO and good resolutions (6.2 Mpixels for the C613 and 7.3 Mpixels for the C763.)

Each has four flash modes (anti red-eye, auto, fill in and no flash), USB 2.0 connections, self timers and good maximum/minimum resolutions (3072×2304 max for the C763, 2848×2134 for the C613.) The C763 can take 15 frames per second and runs off of a Lithium Ion batter while the C613 doubles it and requires two AAs. Unfortunately there isn’t any image stabilization but for this price point, slim …

Recently announced by Kodak was the latest addition to its large line of digital cameras. The Kodak EasyShare Z885 Zoom Digital Camera boasts a high ISO that will allow users to take “great pictures in any lighting conditions.” Along with this, the EasyShare Z885 also has a 5x optical zoom and a high 8.1 mega-pixel resolution. It is also said that because these features are so easy to use, combined with 10 automatic smart scene modes, the number of stunning shots available to take is immeasurable.

Set for release in May, the EasyShare Z885 will sell with a retail price of $199.95.

Eastman Kodak has entered the inkjet market with a new line of All-in-One (AiO) printers for the home.

The new Kodak Easyshare All-in-One Printers will focus on reducing the cost of printing and save consumers up to 50 percent on printing costs according to a Kodak press release. The AiO printers will use Kodak’s premium, pigment-based ink, priced at $9.99 for a cartridge of black ink and $14.99 for a five-ink color cartridge.

“For far too long, people have felt restrained from printing due to the high cost of ink,” said Antonio M. Perez, chairman and chief executive officer, Eastman Kodak Company. “Our new system gives consumers the freedom to print documents and photos frequently, easily and affordably with exceptional quality that lasts a lifetime under typical home display conditions.”

The family of Kodak Easyshare All-in-One Printers will consist of three new printers ranging …

The Kodak Easyshare G600 Printer Dock is a portable printing solution that works with your Kodak camera to help you print high quality pictures anytime and anywhere. The new design measures 7.7″ x 4.0″ x 13.0″ and weighs 4.2 lbs making it small enough to take with you just in case you have an impromptu photo shoot.

You can print pictures in 60 seconds at the touch of a button or transfer your pictures to your computer with the included USB cable so you can keep on shooting. In addition, the printer will automatically charge your Kodak camera battery in 3.5 hours.

The printer creates waterproof, fingerprint-proof, stain-resistant, wipeable prints using Kodak XTRALIFE Lamination. The high capacity cartridge in the new G Series Photo Paper Kit is designed exclusively for the G600 to make up to 100 borderless 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 …

If you are a snapshot photographer like me, I can’t think of a feature set in a camera better than the new Kodak V705. An upgrade from the similar Kodak V570, the V705 has added a few upgrades including a 7.1 megapixel CCD. The Kodak V705 is a dual lens camera with dual sensor as well.
One thing I was surprised at is that this camera doesn’t have a dock. It is a Kodak Easyshare, but if you want to hook it up to a printer, there are some adapters or a plug in you can use. It’s not that inconvenient, but I just expected it to have a dock I guess. They have set the standard for us non-professional photographers, I guess. This camera does have a great big wide screen and 22 different scene modes, which is just great when you …
