Digital camera reviews of Kodak Easyshare M863 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Red)
Digital camera Review: Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love my camera. I take it everywhere because I can fit it in my pocket. It is so great to be able to take photos whenevr and where I like because it is with me!Digital camera Review: DEAD
Summary: 1 Stars
I had this camera 14 months and it worked great. One day last week it wouldn't turn on. All it did was pop the lens out and then right back in. I did some research and found this is a common problem with this model. Called Kodak and they told me to pound sand. Just a word to the wise. Avoid this camera...Digital camera Review: DON'T install the Kodak software! DO buy some memory!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent little camera but following the setup instructions that came with it, almost led my wife to send her gift back in disgust. These instructions tell you to install the software CD onto your computer before plugging in the camera to a USB port. If you do this, you will be burdened with a bulky, clumsy, barely usable User Interface/Web UI with the sole purpose of selling you additional Kodak products and services and, in the process, preventing any other, more useful program from getting access to the camera driver for viewing or downloading images. Trust me, this software makes iTunes seem sleek, and unintrusive!
After struggling for hours with the Kodak software, the included manual, the downloaded User Guide, the downloaded "Extended" User Guide, and the online tutorial, we gave up and did what we should have done in the first place. We uninstalled all of the supplied software, re-booted, and plugged in the camera again. And yes, Windows 7, recognized the camera, located and installed the necessary driver and offered us a selection of access methods for viewing and downloading pictures, using our own software, such as PhotoShop Elements, PhotoImpact, Windows Photo Gallery, and Media Player.
You also need to know that the available "barebones" memory of the camera holds no more than a dozen pictures. To avoid a disappointing gift experience, you should add a card with a couple of gigabytes of SD memory (or microSD with an adaptor) to be plugged in as soon as the camera is unwrapped.
Digital camera Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera after reading the reviews, and saw some were less then thrilled with their camera. After purchasing it, I can say, "This is great!". It takes fantastic pictures in the dark and in the middle of the day. The zoom option is fantastic and the stabilization option couldn't be better. I even took some pictures while I was in a moving vehicle and I saw no blur and it was really clear. I'd defiantly recommend this camera to anyone who was considering buying it.Digital camera Review: Good Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera came on time and it was easy to set up. The picture quality is very good and it even adjusts to when you take a vertical photo. All of the different photo settings are a nice feature. The only problem is sometimes it won't stay turned on.
