Kodak's compacts may not have quite made the same impact as those from other manufacturers, but its latest Touch model looks like a promising addition to its Easyshare line. It marries a number of impressive features with an attractive price tag, and comes equipped with social networking functionality to make sharing images and video as straightforward as possible. Beginning with the hardware, the camera combines a 14MP CCD sensor with a 28-140mm Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon zoom lens - a construction including aspheric elements to improve image quality. Both of these are now commonly found across compacts of the Touch's ilk, although at such a price the 460k-dot touchscreen LCD is far more of a rarity, particularly as it's based on capacitive technology. This utilises the conductive properties of the human body to access the screen, in contrast to the resistive technology usually seen on such compacts which instead uses layers of materials which conduct electricity when they meet (ie. when you press or swipe them). As capacitive systems are the better performing of the two it's more than welcome to see one on such a keenly-priced camera.
Cameras in the £80 to £150 price range are slowly catching up with more expensive models, but competition in the budget sector is tough and it's not always easy for manufacturers to stand out from the crowd when they're on tight budgets. However, with a wide-angle lens (a must-have these days), a good-quality build and a high-definition touchscreen, Kodak's Easyshare Touch M577 is currently a pretty unique camera in the low-cost sector. Entry-level cameras often have a fairly basic build, an approximative assembly and hard, grainy plastics worthy of an old TV or a Playmobil toy. There's none of that here though, as both the front and the back of this Kodak camera have been carefully made with lacquered plastics that really bring a look and feel of quality to the camera. Obviously, this smooth finish makes the Easyshare Touch a bit slippery, and there's no grip or handle for your fingers to hang onto. Plus, the shiny casing is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. That said, there are a few slightly questionable design choices, such as the chrome-effect band of bling running between the front and back casings, but in spite of that, it's been a while since we've seen this level of quality in a budget camera.
