Kodak Easyshare M380 – A Very Nice Looking Digital Camera
It’s not a bad-looking camera. The body is mainly aluminium with some plastic parts, and the anodised metallic finish is attractive, but it’s easy to see where corners have been cut. The poorly labelled controls look and feel cheap, the tripod bush is plastic, and the battery/card hatch is extremely flimsy. While the LCD monitor is large and reasonably sharp, it’s not terribly bright and has a shiny reflective surface that is difficult to see in bright daylight.
The Easyshare M380 doesn’t offer much in the way of features. Shooting modes are easily selected via a rather fiddly dial on the top and are limited to program auto, a selection of scene modes or the Smart Capture automatic scene selection mode. There are some useful menu options, such as exposure compensation, macro or infinity focusing, a long exposure option, a very brief list of colour options, and adjustable white balance, ISO and sharpness settings. Autofocus can be set to multi-zone or centre zone, and exposure metering to multi-zone, centre weighted or spot.
The 5x zoom lens gives the Kodak Easyshare M380 some versatility, but the wideangle end is only 38mm. The built-in flash is underpowered and poorly metered, failing to light the corners of the frame at wide angle and over-exposing close-range flash portraits. It will take a picture even if the flash isn’t fully charged, resulting in some very dark night-time shots. The video recording mode is also pretty lacklustre by modern standards, offering 640 x 480 resolution, mono audio and only digital zoom. One unusual feature is the ability to charge the battery via a USB connection.
The shot-to-shot time in seems quick at approximately 1.8 seconds, but the camera doesn’t wait for the AF system to focus before taking a picture. If you wait for it to focus the shot-to-shot time is more like 2.3 seconds. The Easy Share M380 has no continuous shooting mode, just a three-shot burst which doesn’t focus between shots.
The autofocus system is reasonably quick in good light, but fails dismally in a room lit by a 60W bulb. It has no AF assist light, so it’s useless in the dark, however it will happily take a photo anyway even though it will come out as a dark burry mess.
