After lagging behind its competitors for the last few years, Kodak is poised for a comeback with its new EasyShare M1033 ($199.95 direct), a simple camera that boasts a generous feature set. The 10-megapixel M1033 adds style, comes in six colors, and is easy enough for any beginning photographer. It even offers 720p resolution HD video capabilities. Although it’s not quite on a par with Canon’s high-quality cameras, the M1033 is certainly an affordable alternative.

At 5.12 ounces, the M1033 is lightweight and small enough to fit into a pocket but feels solid at the same time. Its big, bright 3-inch LCD screen makes framing shots easy, and to my amazement I found it viewable even in direct sunlight. This is especially important because the camera lacks an optical viewfinder.
