Kodak Easyshare Max - Film Effects

[jason_withers]

<p>I visited Kodak.com today to view their digital cameras, and I noticed that the Easyshare Max (<a href="http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/MAX_Camera/productID.221644300">http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/MAX_Camera/productID.221644300</a>) camera has several different "film effects" available ( most notable: Kodachrome, Kodacolor, Ektachrome, Tri-x, T-max). I wasn't aware that any other camera had this many film-like effects to add to pictures or that Kodak had done this before. I found a sample pic showing the different effects here: <a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-electronics/shops/kodak/aplus/M532_film_effect_large._V183386413_.jpg">http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-electronics/shops/kodak/aplus/M532_film_effect_large._V183386413_.jpg</a><br>

Anyways, I thought it was interesting, especially since a lot of people were saddened when Kodachrome production ceased. It's hard to tell how the effects compare with the real film, but it's cool that Kodak incorporated this into a camera!</p>

Fujifilm has (what I think are more useful) film emulations on the EXR series. In your op. cit. Amazon comparison, Kodacolor seems totally useless due to undersaturation, and Kodachrome only marginally less so.

<p>Undersaturated isn't a bad thing; it's all about on the look you are going for and what you like. The Velvia/Vivid from that Fuji link looks really cartoon like.</p>
