Wide-angle, zoom x5 and HD video at less than 200 euros, is possible with the manufacturer of low cost cameras.
The EasyShare M530 is an unassuming little camera, with a 2.7 inch screen, 12 megapixel sensor, 3x zoom, low resolution video output and USB.
Kodak M530: a compact 129 euro may be sufficient for summer
This is certainly not the camera this year, but its Riviera skies and bright colors plead for him.
Kodak paradox: the old American brand (it dates from 1881!) Is today a leading supplier of sensors for ultra high-end devices from other manufacturers, such as Leica M9 at exorbitant prices. Yet to the general public, Kodak remains best known for its low-end models if not, at least at very low prices.
The expectations
Buy a compact Kodak in recent years is the lottery. Former cult brand of consumer photo, the manufacturer declined since the advent of digital input devices of very limited range, but saved by aggressive pricing. No wide angle, not HD, besides price, what have they to win?
The reality
The pleasant surprise of the M530 is just the pleasant quality of photographs he produced for a digital camera so cheap. No mistake: you will get almost never accurate in the details of a compact high-end, and when the lights dim, the small sensor gives a horrible mush of dark spots as a photograph. The use of flash is so essential, and it reluctantly we use it, as this device is easy to lose all relief and spontaneity to a picture.
In fact, the M530 has mostly amazed by the warmth of the colors in daylight. We tried for a week, automatically, through the small villages of the Côte d’Azur, St Tropez Grimaud Ramatuelle through, and each picture was shown at the height of what ‘we expected: a postcard full of charm and brilliance. Plants are green, the azure sky, yellow sunflowers in a very pure. It welcomes back all the colors of summer, without a recurring defects in digital, a tendency to fade them (the famous all-white skies).
Exercise postcard
The absence of wide-angle zoom and low forced instead to compose his pictures otherwise, a little old (tight framework, lack of distance, and therefore easier invasive central subjects), but also sometimes a fun exercise. And avoids, paradoxically, to miss some of the photos and forget to focus on the main subject.
Avoid the other hand the use indoors without flash, or try to take pictures of objects or children moving. Its low sensitivity and very long trip time, so make it completely useless. Similarly, the function of face recognition is the gag, because it is content to focus on anything vaguely round in the area. Difficult to explain to his girlfriend from the back, the device has confused her angelic face with his butt.
A very basic ergonomics
Finally, video can be a solution, but do not expect much, the reactivity of the development being definitely not the strong point of the M530. A final word on ergonomics: if the case is thin and cute, buttons blend in touch. It often needs to look where we place her fingers before firing. No top to spontaneity. Note that the original commercial that we had in hand was the victim of a recurring bug: it did not recognize half the time, the memory card inserted therein. Then you had to switch off, possibly go out and reinsert the SD card, and finally on again and wait for his start, hoping that the magnificent yellow-billed cuckoo shoot you hope is not gone lay elsewhere.
