Kodak Easyshare LS420

Stylish and simple to use, Kodak's LS420 digital camera is low on features and its image quality is unimpressive.

Kodak LS420 Camera Review - PCWorld

The Easyshare LS420 is small and stylish, but it''''s also somewhat overpriced for the features and image quality you get.

Kodak EasyShare LS420

The EasyShare series of digital cameras from Kodak are known for their simplicity and ease of use, and the Kodak LS420 is no different. This camera, the latest in the EasyShare series, looks stunning and is surprisingly small!But is it

Sleek and compact Design, good battery life, adequate value for money

No optical zoom, weak flash, poor image quality when shooting indoors

The camera has only a rather limited set of features. Exposure, shutter and white balance are all automatic and the flash modes can be changed between automatic, flash fill, red-eye, night shot, and flash off, but the flash itself is a little weak when...

Canon PowerShot S200 Digital ELPH

Is the LS420 a good entry-level camera? Find out in our review

Very small body ; Dock is great for photo transfer, battery charging ; Good movie mode ; Ability to set shutter speed ; Good bundle

Very limited features, especially compared with the competition ; No macro mode ; Dock must be powered even to transfer photos ; Trouble with photo quality sometimes

The Kodak EasyShare LS420 is a camera that will likely be enjoyed by people just starting out in photography. It offers very easy operation, a useful dock for charging the battery and transferring pictures, and decent photo quality (in most cases). I...

Kodak EasyShare LS420

This is a great camera. It is a fixed focus camera though, so limit the close ups. The battery has a very long life and the pictures are stunning. Since it is fixed focus, there is no annoying lag when pressing the shutter button, and the picture is...

color rendition, capture speed, battery life, size, included case, I purchased the wall charger unit and that is just GREAT

Don't like where the wrist strap fastens. It is on the left and if the camera starp is put on your right hand, it is always upside down when you go to use the camera.
