Kodak Goes Wireless With EasyShare M750 Digital Camera

The latest entry in Kodak's EasyShare line, the M750 digital camera, doesn't require you to plug it into a computer to offload your photos and videos.

The camera has built-in Wi-Fi so that you can transmit photos to your computer, the Kodak Gallery, Facebook, or to an email recipient with the press of a button. It can be used with Mac and Windows-based computer systems, and apps are available for iOS, Android, and Blackberry devices. Wireless printing is supported with Kodak printers only.

The capacitive touch-screen shooter features a 16-megapixel CCD image sensor and a 5x (26-130mm) Retinar HD zoom lens. Its 3-inch display features a 230k dot resolution. Most functions are controlled via the touch-screen interface, but there are dedicated physical buttons for the shutter release, movie recording, image playback, and wireless sharing. Video is recorded in MP4 format at 720p30 resolution, and in-camera editing tools are available. The camera will be available in April in red, teal blue, and dark silver finishes, uses SDHC memory, and is set to retail for $169.

Kodak's other new release is the Playfull Dual Zi12 camera. The hybrid video/still camera is capable of capturing 1080p60 video and 12-megapixel stills. The fast frame rate makes it ideal for capturing fast action, like sports, and it will let you create slow-motion footage via simple settings in basic video-editing software. Its fixed focal length lens captures a 31mm (35mm equivalent) field of view when recording 16:9 HD video and a slightly wider 26mm angle when grabbing 4:3 stills. The camera is designed to be held in portrait orientation when shooting video and in landscape when shooting stills.

A maximum aperture of f/2.6 makes it possible to grab video in lower light, and a Xenon flash helps to brighten your still photos. You can connect an external microphone for those times when audio quality is key. The Zi12's rear 3-inch LCD has a 460k dot resolution and the camera supports SDHC memory cards up to 32GB in capacity. It will be available in white or black in April and is set to retail for $199.

My Experience

Images, and the devices that capture them, are my focus. I've covered cameras at PCMag for the past 14 years, which has given me a front row seat for the changeover from DSLRs to mirrorless cameras, the smartphone camera revolution, and the emergence of drones for aerial imaging. I have extensive experience with every major mirrorless and SLR system, and am also comfortable using point-and-shoot and action cameras. As a Part 107 Certified drone pilot, I’m licensed to fly unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for commercial and editorial purposes, and am knowledgeable about federal rules and regulations regarding drones.

The Technology I Use

I use all of the major camera systems on a regular basis, swapping between Canon, Fujifilm, L-Mount, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon, and Sony systems. I still find time to use Leica M rangefinders and Pentax SLRs on occasion, too. I keep an iPhone 13 in my pocket for the rare occasions I'm not carrying a camera.

I'm not a brand-specific photographer. For product review photos, I swap between a Canon EOS R5 and a Sony a7R IV. I use Flashpoint and Godox TTL lights and Peak Design tripods, and I most often reach for a Think Tank or Peak Design backpack to carry equipment.

When it comes to computers, I'm an unapologetic Mac person and have been for the past 20 years. I write in Pages and use Numbers for spreadsheets. I currently swap between an Intel i9 MacBook Pro and an Apple Silicon Mac Studio for writing and use a calibrated BenQ 32.5-inch with the Studio for photo and video editing. I rely on a LaCie 6big RAID for media storage. I also keep a PC around for gaming, but please don't tell my Macs about it; they'll get jealous.

I split time between several different software apps depending on the type of editing I'm doing. For Raw image processing, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic is my standard. I pair it with a LoupeDeck CT console to supplement my keyboard and trackpad, and I lean on RNI All Films 5 presets when I want to give an image a film look. I use Apple Final Cut Pro for video editing.

My first digital camera was the Canon PowerShot Elph S200, and my first DSLR was the Pentax *ist DL. I have a soft spot for antique film gear. I still use a 1950 vintage Rolleiflex Automat TLR and love trying mid-century Leica lenses on film and digital alike. I mainly use whatever's in front of me for review for digital snaps, but I pick up either my Leica M Typ 240 or Pentax K-3 III Monochrome when I want to step away from review work. In my downtime, I enjoy bird watching, reading, video games, and both good and bad movies, especially in the sci-fi and horror genres.
