Digital camera reviews of Kodak Easyshare M863 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Red)
Digital camera Review: Good Quality Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera works really well. I have not had any issues with is since purchasing it a few months ago. Its compact and the battery lasts a long time. You can charge it with a USB to AC adapter using the camera cord, which is nice. The lense can take some pressure on it as that tends to happen, no issues with scratching. All around good camera for the price.Digital camera Review: Good. While it works.

I got this camera for my birthday, and it worked exceptionally well. I was in love with it because of the ease of use, the wide pan shot, and the seamless transition from camera to computer without any sort of issues.
While it worked.
Not even a year after I received it, it no longer worked. I was very careful with the camera. I didn't drop it, didn't expose it to any sort of liquid, and handled it gently. I was a general user with no extraordinary needs from the camera. One day, the battery drained very quickly and the camera shut off. Thinking I just needed to recharge it, I did so. The camera never turned back on. Not completely any way. It pretends to for about a second before shutting off again. Thinking it was a battery issue, I had it checked to make sure I didn't just need to purchase a new battery. The battery was fully charged. I made numerous attempts to get it to work, from bringing it back to the store (to have them tell me it would be cheaper to buy a new camera than get this one repaired) to visiting the completely useless Kodak site whose best suggestion to solve my problem was for me to put the battery in the right way. Right. Thanks a lot for nothing.
My suggestion? Do not buy this camera if you want a digital camera that will last you more than a few months.
Digital camera Review: Gotta be something better

This is the second kodak digial camera I have owned. Purchased this one in January and it already is 'acting up'. The first one worked for a year and a half and just quit without warning! I used to really recommend this camera, but won't anymore and neither will the others I've suggested it to. The lens must be extremely sensitive as sometimes it comes out for a picture and other times it shuts off. I won't buy another one like this. I depend on my camera for pictures of girls, I don't have time to worry if this will 'decide' to work today. The warranty is bogus. But the time you pay for the warranty, send it in, you could buy another one. I guess things are made to be disposible! Frustrating! I think we had only one camera the entire time I was growing up - it was a Pentex - so I will look at that next time!Digital camera Review: Great Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price I really enjoy this camera. It is compact and very functional with plenty of options for me (although I don't have much knowledge about cameras). I found it very user friendly and at 8.2MP with a 4GB SD card, it has a picture capacity in the thousands. My only problem with it is that you can't view pictures/videos without turning it on and extending the lens. If there was a way to view pictures without extending the lens, this would be a perfect camera.Digital camera Review: Great Camera--as long as it is working!

I bought my M863 in July 2008, and loved it. After 11 months, mine started acting up. It was turning on, the lens coming out, but then closing and powering off. I could go into review mode and look at the pictures on the camera though. After going through the online troubleshooting, was told to send the camera in to United Camera. After more than 3 weeks and not hearing anything, I contacted them. The response was that there is corrosion in the camera and that the corrosion voids the warranty. Everything that I read said that dropping or exposing the camera to liquid voids the warranty (which did not happen), and the battery was a Kodak internal rechargeable battery. If corrosion was from the Kodak battery, then this should be covered by Kodak's warranty. I contacted Kodak about how unhappy I was with this and that I know that the camera could not have had corrosion. They told me that they stand by United Camera's claim. After being a faithful Kodak Digital camera customer for more than 9 years, I just bought an Olympus yesterday. So unhappy with the poor customer service I received from Kodak and the shotty claim that United Camera gave me.
