Kodak has released a new point-and-shoot camera in Europe without any sort of formal announcement. The 14-megapixel EasyShare C1530 is an entry-level device, sporting a 3X optical zoom along with a three-inch monitor. A significant feature is the ability to upload images to a choice of nine social service destinations at the push of a button.
Pressing the Share button while in Review mode will upload photos or videos to a user’s pre-selected Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Orkut, Yandex or a Kodak Gallery account as well as an e-mail address or a Kodak Pulse Digital Photo Frame. This does require a physical connection to a computer, however, along with the included software installed.
There is 32MB of storage built-in, with the rest coming in the form of an SDHC memory card slot. The camera shoots 640×480 resolution videos as well and is powered by two AA batteries.
The Kodak EasyShare C1530 is priced at $80 and can be had in red or black.
