Imaging Resource - 11/14/2006 - has reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 and writes - “Kodak’s EasyShare digital cameras are not only among the easiest to use of any on the market, but they put the fun back in photography — and the Kodak V603 is no exception. Its fully automatic exposure control performs surprisingly well in a wide variety of conditions, requiring less exposure adjustment or tweaking than do most competing models. For unusual shooting conditions, 22 preset “Scene” modes extend the Kodak V603’s capabilities nicely. And you don’t have to remember what they are, either. Kodak presents them on a single screen with icons, names and a short description of what they do. The Kodak V603’s 6.1-megapixel CCD captures high resolution images, with plenty of detail to make good-looking 11×14 prints, and a handful of helpful tools such as the Blur Warning, Motion Image Stabilization, and automatic Red-Eye correction are very welcome additions.”

Steve’s Digicams - 07/07/2006 - has reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 and writes - “Kodak has created an appealing digital package with the EasyShare V603. With great image quality, robust performance, and loads of “cool” exposure modes and features, the V603 will make a great choice for anyone who wants a simple to use 6-megapixel model that can be tucked away in almost any size pocket or handbag.”

CNET - 06/08/2006 - has reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 and thinks it’s 6-megapixel version of the EasyShare V550 - “All told, Kodak’s EasyShare V603 is a solid snapshooter at a decent price that should please anyone who just wants to catch quick photos of family and friends without any hassles. It’s not the camera for persnickety shooters who want lots of controls, but casual shooters will enjoy its simplicity.”

Digital Camera Review - 06/06/2006 - has reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 and thinks it’s one of the fastest operating Kodak cameras that they’ve used. - “The Kodak Easyshare V603 is a stylish, capable camera. Kodak has a done a good job of improving the usability of the controls while keeping the camera’s style. Also improved is the operation speed of the camera — with minimal shutter lag and good cycle time. The image quality of the camera is good, with a slight tendency to overexpose. Kodak works pretty hard to make it easy to take pictures, so along with the easy camera operation, it can also plug right into their Easyshare printers to print out your Kodak moments.”

CNET Asia - 05/30/2006 - has reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 and rates it 6.4 out 10 - “The EasyShare V603 is simply a basic point-and-shoot camera, but it could have done better on some design changes.”

Digital Camera Info - 03/01/2006 - has taken the 6.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V603 for a test drive and here’s what they think - “With a great linear menu structure, uncomplicated navigation of the LCD interface and minimal manual control concerns, the Kodak EasyShare V603 continues to improve upon the Kodak point-and-shoot foundation from previous years. The camera has a well designed external interface with generous amounts of room between controls that are a bit too petite, but the four-way controller, the most often used of these features, is well-sized and spaced for premium access.
