[edit] Digital cameras
There are five sub-product camera lines, "series", that separate the cameras into different classes: EasyShare Point and Shoot (C series), EasyShare High Zoom (Z series), EasyShare Pocket (V series), and EasyShare-ONE (wi-fi capable). The original series of EasyShare digital cameras were prefixed with "DX" for the higher end 'prosumer' range, with "P" for the professional series, and with "CX" for the cheaper, more basic models.
[edit] Kodak EasyShare DX-Series
The DX series cameras were the first EasyShare models released, beginning with the DX3500 and DX3600. It was originally a very basic point and shoot camera series, compatible with the original EasyShare Camera Dock. The CX series eventually replaced the lower-end DX models, and the newer DX-Series models had more advanced features and higher megapixel resolutions and zoom. The DX series is now discontinued. The higher-end of the DX-Series (higher zoom, megapixel) eventually became the Z-Series. Select DX models were the last Kodak consumer digital cameras to use CompactFlash external memory cards.

[edit] Software
EasyShare Software is used to transfer and catalog images from Easyshare camera models and can also be used with existing images or non-KODAK cameras. It also serves as the print ordering and online album manager and has some limited photo enhancement capabilities.
The updater component of the software is powered by BackWeb, which, though usually suspect for its spyware associations, is said to be benign in this case[citation needed].
In version 6 of EasyShare software, the Bonjour software component from Apple is installed for remote service discovery, but serves no useful purpose for older models; it can be removed using "Add & remove programs" without impeding functionality. Version 6.2 was released in January 2007 which included support for Windows Vista.
