The main selling point of the EasyShare LS633 Zoom is that it is apparently the first digital camera to come with an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display, which won it an award for innovation at the recent CeBIT trade show in Hanover.
OLEDs are hotly tipped to replace the present generation of liquid-crystal displays, thanks to their brighter, clearer colours, wide viewing angle and lower manufacturing cost. They also enable you navigate the camera's menus more easily on a sunny day.
Aside from showing off your pictures, the OLED mainly serves as a viewfinder, making up for the absence of onscreen warnings and information on the optical viewfinder.
The OLED display is a nice feature, but this is a camera, not a television.
The LS633 is sturdy and well-made camera that should appeal to consumers who want more features than most mid-range mini digitals have to offer.
Unlike most previous Kodaks in this range, the LS633 looks good, is compact enough to fit in a pocket, takes good pictures and, most importantly, is easy enough for your mother to use.
