Product Description

The M1093 IS certainly makes a good first impression. It's a nice looking camera with a half-aluminum, half-plastic body, and is available in black or the anodized silver finish shown here. It has a very slim and compact shape, measuring 95.2 × 58.5 × 21.4 mm, and weighing 135g minus battery, or about 155g fully loaded. The body shape is a sharp-edged rectangular slab with slightly rounded ends, and the flush-mounting controls and retracted lens mean it can slip into a pocket with ease. Kodak HD TV Dock Included!

This camera is capable of producing great pictures. Forget digital telephoto (this goes for every pocket P&S camera I have used). I also have the Canon A590IS, A570IS, and Nikon L20. The Canons' pictures are usually a little soft and require sharpening. The L20 takes some coaxing, but can also do a great job. Best approach is to use L20's BSS mode and take at least 6 clicks. Sometimes takes a few attempts to get it to focus. The HD video from the 1093 is a small wonder. Clear and bright. Too bad it does not include optical IS for videos. Zoom works for videos, but there is a moment of blur when it refocuses. Low light pictures seem to be difficult with all of these cameras, although the Canons have a slight edge.

The 1093's flash is puny compared to the Canons, but picture seems a little sharper to me than the other 3 cameras if there is sufficient light. I don't like the position of the MODE button since I usually also hit the shutter button at the same time. As with all of these cameras READ THE MANUAL and experiment with the settings. Smart Capture mode works well most of the time, but not always. With all, I usually pull the SDHC card to transfer pictures. I dont want all of the analysis that the proprietary transfer programs do. You have to the play with the White Balance settings indoors to get it right (same for the other cameras). Too bad it does not have a custom White Balance mode. For the $125 I paid, including a dock, I am very happy with this camera.
