Kodak EasyShare M381

Even when the picture you want is far away, the M381 brings you closer without moving an inch, thanks to a 5X optical zoom lens. “Plus, you'll take great pictures in just about any situation, thanks to our Smart Capture technology,” Scott adds.

5X optical zoom

The 5X optical zoom lens (35 mm equivalent: 35–175 mm) gets you closer to your subjects without reducing image quality. The KODAK AF Optical Zoom Lens captures crisp details.

Blur reduction

Reduce blur caused by camera shake, subject movement, or fast-action situations. The camera automatically minimizes the effects of camera shake to deliver clearer, sharper pictures.

Amazing quality prints with 12 MP

12 MP means you can make stunning prints up to 30 × 40 in. (76 × 102 cm). More megapixels means you can crop and enlarge and still have great picture quality. However you choose to print—at home, at retail, or online—trust Kodak for picture quality that's truly exceptional and for memories that will last.
