Camera Overview — Kodak EasyShare V550

The Kodak EasyShare V550 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 5MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor. It delivers a maximum still image resolution of 2576x1932 pixels and supports two color profiles — Standard and Vivid — giving shooters a modest degree of control over image rendering. The camera's ISO range runs from 80 to 800, covering typical daylight and low-light casual shooting scenarios.

An optical tunnel viewfinder is included alongside the 2.5-inch TFT LCD display, which resolves at 230,000 dots — a generous screen size for its era. Autofocus is handled via contrast detection with a single center-area focus point. For video, the V550 captures footage at up to 640x480 resolution at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color.

Burst mode is supported at up to 3 frames per second. The built-in flash covers Auto, Fill, Red-Eye Reduction, and Off modes. Storage options include SD cards and internal storage.

The aluminum alloy body measures 94 x 56 x 22 mm and weighs 160g, making it genuinely pocketable. Power comes from a 3.7V, 720 mAh Kodak Lithium-Ion battery rated for approximately 150 shots per charge. Connectivity is handled via USB.
