Kodak EasyShare M580 Review: Superior Exposure Quality and 8X Zoom Camera

For $200, you are being offered a 14 Megapixel camera, large optical zoom range and tid bits of perks that aren’t so hard to let go of. Wanna know the exact make and model of this camera? It’s the Kodak EasyShare M580, one of the coolest point-and-shoot cameras that we’ve seen so far.

The EasyShare M580 is affordable and doesn’t feel like a cheap bargain at all. It does have some setbacks too, but isn’t $200 enough to cover the following features?

• Superior exposure quality
• 8X-optical-zoom wide-angle lens
• In-camera tagging for social-networking uploads
• Simple operation with automated Smart Capture mode
• Bare-bones feature set for a pocket megazoom

Since it is a point-and-shoot device, most of the stuff is already automated. Let’s say, there are over 20 preset scenes to choose from. A “Sunlight” Scene will immediately give a yellowish tinge to your subject, so on and so forth. The only manual stuff in this camera is the ISO settings panel. If you’re a pro, you can choose the perfect ISO setting between 80 and 1600; combine it with one of the preset scenes and generate a breath taking result.
