Kodak Releases Digital Camera With OLED Display

Posted by timothy on from the they're-here-they're-here dept.

arth33 writes "Kodak has announced the LS633 Digital camera with OLED display. The camera and imaging specs are pretty standard (3.1 MegaPixels, 3x Optical Zoom, etc) but the viewfinder screen is a 2.2" OLED screen with a resolution of 512 x 218 pixels. According to the press release at DPreview, 'This large, full color, full motion, flat panel display is sharp, bright and features 165 viewing angles for on-camera viewing and sharing. Packaged in a stylish, metal body, the LS633 is perfect for users who want to show off their pictures on a cutting-edge OLED display.' All this and it's pretty cheap at US$399, and is expected on shelves in April in Australia, Europe and Asia. More pics and information is also available at LetsGoDigital."

    Organic material? Does that mean it will 'go off' after time?

    But don't worry, your camera will be lost, stolen,
    or broken before that happens.

    Yeah, but until there's a +1 Regurgitation score, +1 Informative will have to do. ;)

    The current life expectancy of them leaves a bit to be desired, but eventually this will be solved.

    Yes, and it'll probably be just a coincidence that these problems are solved right about the same time that the major players' huge investments in the old LCD manufacturing tech begins to break even. :-)

    It doesn't say that it is viewable from 165 degrees, it says there are "165 viewing angles".

    It must be hard to position yourself at exactly one of those 165 descrete angles, though. :-(

    But seriously, how do you propose to view what is, for practial purposes, a two dimensional display from 90 degrees off the normal?

    IOW, it is viewable from 180 degrees, but only if you point it at something that looks like the side of a camera body. Or a vertiacal line.

    OLED.. Organic LED

    Well, Thank God.

    It really pisses me off when they put all those chemicals and pesticides in my LEDs.
