Kodak has started shipping a new digital camera that is billed as the first WiFi camera on the consumer market.

Kodak said this week that the Easyshare-One has been getting rave reviews in the high-tech media and will be hitting store shelves in the coming days with a suggested retail price of $599.

The device comes equipped with a wireless card that works well with WiFi hot spots where vacationers and other casual photographers can transmit photos to friends and family via e-mail.

The camera also has 256 megabits of memory and the capacity to store 1,500 images.
