Two Kodak cameras and each capable of rich looking 720P HD video. Whether you’re looking for a big zoom or a pocket snapper, these two models have it covered.

The V570 is a fine camera but isn’t for everyone. The ability to take wide-angle photos is a great feature, though there’s a slight trade-off in image quality compared to similarly priced snappers

A well-built and stylish compact. Only a sluggish menu system lets it down

In the words of Amy Winehouse: they tried to make us buy this Kodak, but we said ‘no, no, no’

A fun, innovative camera but heavy and underpowered for the price

This 4-megapixel camera is a good point-and-shooter with a generous 2.2in preview LCD on the back and good one-handed operation. Its auto shooting modes work well, and the menus are extremely user-friendly with large icons and simple choices.

The Kodak EasyShare LS743 is one of the new generation of mid-range digital cameras hitting the market. At its core is a 4 megapixel CCD, capable of 2,304 x 1,728 resolution, which sits behind a Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon lens with 2.8x optical zoom.

The compact EasyShare DX6490 is one of Kodak's latest in their DX high performance, consumer range of cameras. Featuring a 4.23MP CCD (with 4MP effective), the camera is capable of capturing images at up to 2,304 x 1,728 resolution, which places it at the higher end of the consumer digital camera spectrum.

The EasyShare CX4230 is a 2.1-megapixel unit with 16MB internal memory, ability to write to both SD and MMC, 3x optical zoom, auto focus, USB and PC card connectivity, and video-out.

Receiving this model last month, we knew we were seeing innovation in action with the introduction of OLED technology and the ultra wide and bright 2.2-inch display. OLED allows for less power consumption while providing a noticeably brighter and clearer display than other technologies – perfect for direct sunlight and angular viewing.
