Camera OverviewKodak EasyShare MD81

The Kodak EasyShare MD81 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 12MP resolution, making it a capable everyday shooter in a slim, pocketable form. The body measures 101 x 60 x 20 mm and weighs just 133g, so it slides easily into a jacket pocket or bag without adding noticeable bulk. The 3.0-inch LCD display gives you a generously sized screen for framing shots and reviewing images, which was a notable feature in point-and-shoot cameras of this class.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system, a standard approach for compact cameras that works reliably in well-lit conditions. The ISO range runs from 64 to 1600, giving you some flexibility when moving between bright outdoor environments and lower-light indoor situations. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, which are widely available and easy to source.

The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and connects to a computer via USB for image transfer. Video capture is supported at 30fps. A built-in flash is included for low-light shooting assistance.
