Kodak yesterday quietly announced the EASYSHARE C513 – its first digital camera based on CMOS sensor technology (well aside from 2001′s mc3). Kodak say the CMOS sensor is capable of providing “excellent color reproduction and dynamic range with low electronic noise” but have – for this model at least – limited sensitivity to ISO160 (enabling the ‘Digital IS’ mode yields a dizzying ISO200!). The main specs are nothing to write home about with a 5MP resolution and the obligatory 36-108mm equivalent lens typical of low-end compacts backed up with the usual EASYSHARE bells and whistles. However as a glimpse at the future of sensor technology this humble little digicam may prove to be very important indeed. The C513 ships in August 2007 with an MSRP of $99.
