Kodak EasyShare M380 Review
Buying a digital camera for between £100 and £150 is a tricky business. Below £100 you know you’re not going to get much in the way of advanced features and can expect fairly ropey build quality, and above £150 is where you can expect to find features such as image stabilisation, wide angle lenses and HD video. However in the middle ground you have to tread carefully because while there are some excellent bargains to be found they are greatly outnumbered by mediocre or genuinely bad cameras. Cameras such as the Fujifilm F60d, Casio EX-Z85, Nikon S225 and especially the Pentax M60 may lack some of the bells and whistles found on more expensive cameras, but they offer good value for money.
Today’s review camera falls pretty much in the middle of that difficult price bracket. The EasyShare M380 is a mid-range model of Kodak’s mainstream consumer M-series, and as such it’s about as average as a digital camera can get. It has a 10.2 megapixel CCD, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and a 5x zoom lens, but lack image stabilisation, a wide angle lens and advanced video recording. You can buy it direct from Kodak’s website for £129.98 or from a few online retailers for around £125. It’s available in red or black here in the UK, but other territories also have teal or purple options.
