Kodak has added to its range of EasyShare products with a new digital camera that one site claims has everything you need.

According to the Boston Herald’s website, Kodak has been around for long enough to see some major changes in the photographic industry, but adds that the firm is still a market leader in the sector.

It considers the ten-megapixel Kodak EasyShare M1033 as one of these and praises its 3x zoom lens, three-inch display and support for SD memory cards.

The article adds that the camera, which is available in red, pink, pewter, black, silver and dark grey, is just one of a number of models Kodak have launched of late that put it ahead of some major competitors.

“Kodak has now been creeping back into the market with its Easy Share cameras which give anyone the ability to share their pictures with the world,” the site concludes.

The other models in the company’s range include the ten-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V1073 and the 8.2-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Z812.

Incorporating Smart Capture - which Kodak state “instantly adjusts the camera settings to help ensure brilliant pictures in virtually any environment” - the Kodak Easyshare M1093 is expected to be available later in the year.

Slippery Brick reports that the new ten-megapixel model is equipped with image stabilisation and Kodak’s Retinar All-Glass Aspheric Lens as well as 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom.
