Kodak Ships First WiFi Digital Camera

Kodak Ships First WiFi Digital Camera

Kodak has begun shipping what the company claims is the worlds first digital camera to feature WiFi capabilities - the EasyShare One.

With WiFi capabilities, you can e-mail, upload, view and share pictures anywhere there is WiFi internet access, this means at home, Star Bucks or any Hotspot area. Thos that purchase the newEasyShare One camera will receive a complimentary trial service with Hotspot provider T-Mobile which has more than 12,000 hotspots world-wide.   The EasyShare One is a 4-MegaPixel digital camerawhich features a 3X optical zoom lens, 256MB of internal memory and a 3-inch rotating touch screen (pretty cool eh) that looks similar to the Olympus m:Robe touch screen, only the EasyShare One flips out like you would see on a digital camcorder.   Other features include VGAmovie resolution capable of 640×480 pixels at 30 frames-per-second, selectable sound themes and a SD/MMC card expansion slot.   The integrated WiFi radio is only 802.11b compliant for the timebeing, so make sure your images aren’t too big or you will spend some quality time uploading them. But since the WiFi radio is added via a card, there could possible be faster WiFi optionsavailable down the road – but don’t quote us on that.   The EasyShare One has an MSRP price of $599 which includes the WiFi card.     More information is available on theKodak website. Make sure to check out our images above.

  1. homer at 10:48pm 28th November 2006 Well Kodak claims to be first in WiFi ie to Internet location/destination ... Nikon and Canon WiFi's to laptop storage ... then it takes another step to get it out to a remote location on the internet ... if i am reading their literature correctly ...

    I had suspected as much. That is why I mentioned that Kidak "claims" without saying they are the first. Any idea if the Canon or Nikon are 802.11g compliant? 802.11b seems pretty slow for transfering larger files.
  4. anukexpat at 1:21pm 27th September 2005 Not the first -- one of the Nikon DSLRs has an add-on to give it wireless capability as does the Canon 20D...
