Looks like Kodak is off to a great start with the Easyshare One - the one with the Wifi card that you can use to email/share right off the camera. First, it won the "Next Big Thing Award" from Cnet and the "Best of CES" from G4Techtv. Meanwhile, PC Mag looks at the Easyshare a little closer  - amazing 3inch LCD in the back .. and lists some of the shortcomings - i.e. you have to use oFoto to share. ...

In a press release today, Kodak announced three new products to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the EASYSHARE line. The EASYSHARE V610 is the successor to the V570. It features the same two lens, two sensor setup to offer a combined 10x optical zoom at 6MP. Presumably it has the same zoom issues as its predecessor: a sudden jump from one lens to the other, but we'll see when people start getting their hands on them. You can't beat it for looks, though, and with dual Kodak sensors, it should produce class-leading images at any focal lengthand bluetooth transfer sweetens the pot. The V610 will be available worldwide in May with an MSRP of $499. Also announced today was the EASYSHARE-ONE 6MP, the next generation of the 4MP EASYSHARE-ONE, available this summer starting at $299. No specs yet, but it will probably feature the same 3x zoom as the original ES-ONE, as well as Kodak's new WISPr (Wireless ISP recommendation) service to access an increased range of hotspots. Even with the optional $99 wireless card, ...

To complement yesterday's EASYSHARE One announcement, Kodak today announced three new consumer printers, available in October. the EASYSHARE Photo Printer 500 features built-in bluetooth, optional 802-11b Wi-Fi, PICTBRIDGE compatibility for use with non-Kodak cameras, built-in card reader, 3.5" LCD, Perfect Touch and red eye reduction, and 1ppm 4x6 prints.  The EASYSHARE Printer Dock Plus Series 3 offers the same features with a printer dock for EASYSHARE cameras instead of the LCD. finally, the EASYSHARE Photo Printer 300 is Kodak's first stab at a low-end general purpose print maker. It's essentially a the current Printer Dock Series 3 without the dock: PICTBRIDGE compatible 4 x 6 prints at 90sec/print, with an otptional 8-in-1 reader. Not exactly impressive, but a $119 it should be an interesting solution for people who want dye prints for non-Kodak cameras, but don't need the PP500's frills and $249 price tag. ...

Yesterday Kodak and Hyatt Hotels announced a partnership to let guests try out the new EASYSHARE-ONE and make thier friends and relatives jealous all at the same time. Starting in November, Hyat Club members and VIP Floor guests at 13 Hyatt hotels and resorts will be able to check out an EASYSHARE-ONE camera for 48 hours and e-mail or upload the pics via the hotels' T-Mobile hotspots, gratis. Wireless printer docks will also be available for those who prefer a vacation with a paper trail. Fortunately for guests, the test locations are in family destinations and out of the way places—a wireless camera is about all the excitement you're likely to get in Scottsdale, AZ, unless things have changed sine the last time I was there—so what happens in Vegas won't accidentally make its way to the internet in a fit of drunken bravado…yet. I'm not sure what Hyatt is getting out of this, but it's a brilliant coup for Kodak. If the camera is as easy to use as they claim and ...

Kodak today annonced the 4MP EasyShare One, "the world's fist consumer Wi-Fi camera," to ship in October. Unfortunately for them, it looks like Nikon is going to beat them to it with the Coolpix P1 and P2, also announced today and available in September. Oops. At first glance, the Nikons look like better buys: The ES One is an unimpressive 4MP 3x optical zoom with a hefty $599.99 price tag, while the P1 is a respectable 8MP 4x optical zoom for about the same price ($549.95), and the P2 is a 5MP 4x zoom for $399.95 But the story doesn't end there. The Nikons are still tied to your computer. While the offer a nifty direct-to-computer feature—if you're around you computer you can send your pics right over the wireless connection instead of writing them to the card and uploading them later—you'll have to use Nikon software to access the camera. This gives you a little more freedom than a cable, but it doesn't really leverage wireless's real power. You'll probably end up wondering why ...
