The new Kodak EasyShare M1033 Digital Camera is a bright and colorful, thin and stylish, 10-megapixel camera. Equipped with a 3X optical zoom lens and 3-inch wide-angle viewing LCD screen, this camera is packed with features that help ensure great pictures in just about any environment. Additionally, the M1033 captures HD pictures and videos.

Kodak's new Smart capture mode allows users to take better pictures than ever before. This innovative mode adjusts camera settings for great pictures in just about any environment, by using these key features:

  • Intelligent scene detection - detects and analyzes scene conditions.
  • Intelligent capture control - automatically sets camera settings including exposure, focus and ISO for clear, sharp pictures even in low light and challenging situations.
  • Intelligent image processing - reduces noise and clears up dark shadows for vibrant, crisp details and true-to-life colors.

The Kodak EasyShare M-Series Cameras are loaded with a vast array of features that make great picture-taking incredibly simple. From high ISO settings that produce clearer pictures in low-light situations, to Blur Reduction and Kodak PERFECT TOUCH Technology, the features on board the Kodak EasyShare M-Series Cameras help consumers take consistently better shots.

As with all Kodak EasyShare Digital Cameras announced this year (2008), the M1033 is HD-capable, capturing still pictures and video in high definition. Viewing the HD pictures is simple, thanks to the Kodak EasyShare HDTV Dock.
