Kodak EasyShare M1020

As DPFs go, the Kodak M1020 is one of the larger ones I’ve had the opportunity to review. While that holds true, it also comes equipped with some trendy technology that is taking this industry to a new level. Here’s what I have to say about the new DPF.

Form Factor
The M1020 has a large 10.2 inch aSi TFT active matrix display with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. What makes this DPF stand out are the touch-sensitive controls on the bottom and side of the display that offers users a slide control option for scanning through images. Kodak calls this Quick Touch technology. It's kind of like the iPhone's but on a really large scale. Do keep in mind that the screen isn’t touch-sensitive, however.

It’s a very neat and slim design with no untidy buttons and slots. On the rear, at the top, is a power button, an SD card slot, and volume controls. There are two sockets on the side of the rear panel for audio in and audio out. A CF card slot, USB, and Mini USB port are located on the other side. The stand is easy to use and can be rotated for portrait mode or extended to suit your preferred angle. Since it needs electricity to function and has no provisions for batteries, the input socket for the adapter is just under the stand. It also has nail slots in case you’d like hang it on the wall.

Features and Performance
I like the touch-sensitive feature and though the navigation is smooth the interface is a bit complicated – it won’t even show you the folders when you access the external card or the internal drive. It'll take a bit of getting used to. Although the viewing options when accessed from an image don’t allow you to change the orientation of the display, don’t fret – you can simply access the Menu screen and rotate the image. You can also zoom in to the picture (only a little though) and adjust its position for a better view.
