Initial impressions are very good, the camera features a nice 3x-zoom lens that pops out ready for action and the large 2.5-inch LCD
makes for easy use of menus and keeping abreast of the key features you are using when shooting. Five buttons across the top plate deal with a "favourites" settings (a press and you’re back to your favourite pictures you’ve earmarked to keep on the camera at all times), the 640 x 480-movie mode (at 30fps) the scene/shooting button for switching between the camera program AE and its scene modes; finally, there is a larger-sized shutter release.
So far so good. On the left side of the back plate we find Kodak’s “usual” array of flash, delete, menu, review and share buttons while to the right side, across the expanse of LCD is a rather fiddly to use joy stick-style button for display, info, macro and landscape settings. Plus it helps scroll those nice menus and “OK” them with a press down. Other kit includes the ability to edit video in camera, make “quick-fix” style picture edits using the Kodak’s Perfect Tough technology and you can save oft-used settings in the new Maintain Settings system, which holds info on flash, white balance ISO and resolution for example.
