Kodak EasyShare M580 14MP Digital Camera Review - ThinkComputers.org

Kodak was a company known for its standard film cameras, but lately they have been getting much more into the digital camera niche, creating some competition for better known digital camera manufacturers. Today we get to look at one of the high megapixel cameras of Kodak’s, the EasyShare M580 14MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical, 5x Digital Zoom and HD Video Capture. Geeks.com was nice enough to provide us with the EasyShare M580 to review, they are a great place to find refurbished digital cameras.

The 8X-optical-zoom M580 serves up great exposure quality and easy controls, at the expense of manual settings. It's a versatile camera for the price, but it falls short on exciting extras.
