Description:
Picture this—you’re letting loose at a trendy hot spot with friends, snapping pictures so amazing you’ll want to share them online as soon as you get home. Any other camera would slow you down with tags, sorts, and uploads. But not the new KODAK EASYSHARE M580 Digital Camera. Kodak’s Share button allows you to tag pictures directly from your camera for e-mailing to family, friends, and the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame, or uploading to YouTube, FACEBOOK, FLICKR and KODAK Gallery sites. The real KODAK MOMENT happens when you share.

1. Kodak EasyShare M580 by Cnet
Editors’ note: Kodak released a firmware update for the EasyShare M580 that fixes a problem that causes the camera to lock up when changing shooting modes. The update and directions on installation can be found on Kodak’s support page.
The Kodak EasyShare M580 is best described as a very good compact camera with some quirks. Its highlight feature is its 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with an 8x zoom. That lens gives you more shooting flexibility than most basic digital cameras, but without the weight and bulk of a compact megazoom. It also has a 3-inch LCD, which is large for its class, and if you like to share your photos with friends and family by e-mail or online, Kodak’s Share button and software make the process simple.
2. Kodak Easyshare M580 Review by PhotographyBlog
The Kodak Easyshare M580 is the new flagship camera of the beginner-friendly M series digital compact camera range. Featuring 14 megapixels of resolution and an 8x optical zoom that spans a focal range of 28-224mm, the M580 also has a 3 inch LCD screen, captures HD video with a built-in HDMI connector, and boasts Face Recognition technology. The Kodak Easyshare M580 is available in silver, light blue, brown, purple and pink for £179.99 / $199.95.
3. Kodak Easyshare M580 Hands-On Review by DigitalCamera-hq
The Kodak Easyshare M580 joins a handful of low-cost, mid-zoom, compact point-and-shoots on offer this year. We’re fans of similar models, like the Panasonic FH20 and Sony W370, and camera buyers seem to be as well — at the time of writing, both have been among our top-five most-clicked cameras since early spring 2010. The M580 doesn’t quite stack up to either, but it is a solid little shooter in many respects.
