LetsGoDigital reviewed the Kodak EasyShare V550 digital camera. The Kodak V550, smaller than a deck of playing cards, is designed for trendsetters who seek high-style, compact personal electronics that combine phenomenal quality, performance and simplicity. The Kodak EasyShare V550 zoom digital camera breaks new ground in blending video and still photography.

Crafted to capture every pose, the EasyShare V550 camera is equipped with 5-megapixel resolution for prints up to 20 x 30 inches. The included Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2, which provides one-touch picture transfer to a connected computer while keeping the cameras' high-capacity battery charged and ready to go, can play video and photo 'slideshows' on the cameras' high-resolution LCD screens, providing an additional degree of elevated design and innovation
to EasyShare V-Series camera owners.

LetsGoDigital added: "Within the unsurpassed Kodak EasyShare system the Kodak EasyShare V550 takes up a prominent place. It's a beautiful and neatly finished camera with specifications that will appeal to many people. Kodak has actually used some good components here. Not only their own ones, like the EasyShare system but also from others. The excellent Schneider Kreuznach lens is a perfect example of it. Just as great is the huge monitor on the back of the camera. It enhances the photographic joy tremendously."

Kodak V-series cameras, like the EasyShare V550, include Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture organization, editing, sharing and printing - and even CD and DVD burning. The exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak to help users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from inkjet printers. Version 5.0 features new video editing tools that allow people to quickly and simply trim, splice, rotate and add music to videos.

LetsGoDigital concluded: "The Kodak EasyShare V550 is a good camera offering true value for its money. Excellent image quality, simple operation and easy to carry around with you. The EasyShare V550 is not yet perfect, but which camera is? It's mainly details where the EasyShare V550 drops a stitch. In general it's an attractive digital camera, not only because of its appearance. The users of the EasyShare V550 benefit to the fullest from the EasyShare concept. It's a strong concept, but still leaving room for improvement. We're not overwhelmed and uncritical but the Kodak EasyShare V 550 is definitely an excellent choice for the starting photographer, or it will serve greatly as a second camera added to the rest of your photographic equipment."
