Nachdem Kodak erst gestern die EasyShare V570 vorstellten, folgten heute zwei weitere Modelle. Die EasyShare Z650 ist eine 6.1 Megapixel Kamera und kommt mit einerm 10fachen optischen Zoom, 2 Zoll LCD Display und einer Live-Histogramm-Funktion daher. Auch die Easyshare C663 verfügt über 6.1 Megapixel, ist aber deutlich kompakter und bietet daher auch nur einen 3fachen optischen Zoom. Auf der Rückseite hat Kodak ein großes 2.5 Zoll Display platziert. Die Kodak Easyshare C663 ist die erste Kamera von Kodak, die mit der Kodak Perfect Touch Technology arbeitet. Diese soll für hellere Bilder, besonders im Zusammenhang mit Schatten, sorgen.

LONDON, January 3 2006 – Building upon its popular consumer digital photography system, Eastman Kodak Company has introduced the EASYSHARE C663 zoom digital camera.
This model, with 6.1 megapixel resolution, a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen and a SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON 3X optical zoom lens, is the first camera to incorporate proprietary KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology.
At the touch of a button, this innovative feature — previously available only on KODAK printers and kiosks, or via lab processing — creates better, brighter pictures by bringing out detail in shadows without affecting lighter areas. It’s ideal for underexposed pictures caused by shooting beyond the flash range or in adverse lighting conditions.
“Kodak is a digital photography leader, not only in ease-of-use, but also image quality,” said Carolyn Walsh, Product Sales Director Digital, Eastman Kodak Company. “The C663 model fits the needs of a broad range of people looking for a compact digital camera that delivers exceptional image quality, plus Kodak’s hallmark simplicity of operation. Our latest innovation — the addition of KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology to the camera itself — helps people take the best possible pictures, which they’ll be more apt to share and print.”
The KODAK EASYSHARE C663 camera (£179.99 RRP; available March 2006) uses the exclusive KODAK Colour Science image processing chip for phenomenal image quality with rich colour and accurate skin tones. Seventeen programmed scene modes (e.g., party, fireworks, children) and five colour modes (high, low and natural colour, sepia, and black & white) help capture the best shot with the least effort.
On-camera picture-enhancing features include cropping, auto picture rotation, digital red-eye reduction, and blurry picture alert. The model also integrates Kodak’s Share button with its ‘favourites’ feature for storing multiple pictures in an on-camera digital photo album. Each picture can then be shared anytime on the camera’s high-resolution 2.5-inch indoor/outdoor LCD display. For capturing more than just still pictures, the camera also features high-quality (VGA) video capture, playback and video action print options.
