Kodak's 2010 upper M-series compact — 14MP CCD, 5x 28-140mm, 720p video, 3.0in LCD
The EasyShare M575 was introduced in January 2010 as one of four M-series compacts Kodak announced that season, reaching shops in April 2010 at 179.95 US dollars in red, green, blue, black and brown. It sat towards the top of the mainstream M-series with a bigger screen and HD video.
A 14MP 1/2.3-inch CCD pairs with a 5x 28-140mm equivalent zoom in a slim 99x58x19mm, 152g body carrying a 3.0-inch 230k-dot LCD. Native ISO runs 80-1000 with expanded settings to 3200, video records 720p HD at 30fps in QuickTime Motion JPEG, and a three-frame in-camera panorama stitch is built in. Power is a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery; storage is SD.
One of the more capable late EasyShare compacts thanks to the wide 28mm end, HD video and large screen, making it a reasonable casual travel and everyday camera for its day. The high pixel count on a small CCD means fine detail smears as ISO rises, so it stays happiest in daylight.
Confirm the proprietary battery still holds charge and some charging route is included, as original Kodak accessories are discontinued. Check the slim body for corner dents, the 3-inch LCD for scratches, and shoot a bright test frame to rule out CCD streaking; boxed colour variants attract a small premium.
