Kodak's entry-level 2008 compact — 10.3MP CCD, 3x zoom, 2.7in LCD; retail variant of the M1063
The EasyShare MD1063 was a budget point-and-shoot in Kodak's M-series line, released in 2008 as a retail variant of the EasyShare M1063 — the two cameras share a single Kodak user guide. It sat at the entry level of the EasyShare range and was sold in several body colours, including red, black and silver.
It used a 10.3-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD behind a 3x optical zoom covering roughly 32-96mm in 35mm-equivalent terms. Images were composed on a 2.7-inch LCD with no optical viewfinder, and files were stored on SD/SDHC cards or about 16MB of internal memory. Face detection and digital image stabilisation were built in, along with Kodak's one-button Share upload system.
This is a simple snapshot camera aimed at casual family use rather than enthusiast work. Controls are minimal and fully automatic, the body is slim enough for a coat pocket, and the CCD sensor gives the punchy colour typical of late-2000s Kodak compacts, though high-ISO shots get noisy quickly.
On the used market, confirm the battery holds charge and that a charger or USB lead is included, as new spares are aftermarket-only. Check the LCD for scratches and bruising, test the zoom through its full range, and look for grit in the lens barrel — these were carry-everywhere holiday cameras.
