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."

    why havent other companies implemented these into their high-end cameras? I would think somebody would first use these before kodak, I've always seen them as being a little slow on the digital camera technology...

    This is great. A consumer device with an OLED display. One of many technologies to counter our lack of significant innovation in batteries. I think that one of the best places for an OLED display is a pda. I hope one is out by the time that my NR-70's batteries die. Neither Handspring or Sony sell replacement batteries, which means that the PDA is a throw-away item, even if I can take out the battery by my self...

    >>The current life expectancy of them leaves a bit to be desired,

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

    Actually, if it's a Digital Camera, it'll be obsolete long before the OLED conks out...
