3 out of 5 stars Not the best Kodak out there   September 18, 2008
Megan Lafollett (United States)
I loved the last Kodak easyshare I purchased -- it was intuitive and easy to use and took great pictures without much effort. I was excited to see the m883 come out, because I wanted to upgrade to something sleeker and slimmer, and it had one of the largest LCD screens out there so I could actually share the pictures still on the camera without breaking out a magnifying glass. I still like the fact that I can easily slip it into my pocket, but I get very annoyed trying to take pictures of my young daughter with it, because it takes FOREVER for a picture to process and the shutter speed is really slow. I have to use the Sports setting to have any chance of getting a non-blurry picture, and if I want to capture a smile or cute expression I pretty much have to use the "burst" option. It's also quite difficult to hold the camera steady because it is so light and thin, a side effect I had not anticipated.

On the pro side, the controls are very easy to use and the menus and tools are as intuitive as always. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of video it can take. But overall I think Kodak let me down on this one -- which is really sad because I had high hopes for this camera.

As an aside, I also have to say that I am not pleased with the new version of the Easyshare software either. I recommend downloading Picasa2 from google instead -- it's free and much, much easier to use.



3 out of 5 stars s-l-o-w shutter speed..... WOOF!   July 17, 2008
Christine Thalheim (Upper Makefield, Pa., United States)
HAD to buy this during a 5 minute-rush-stop on-tour in China (Casio Exilim EX-S600 was stollen) and no other 'budget' choices (PAID US$200!-). The picture quality is good-very good however the shutter speed is TERRIBLE with a major delay.... hence pre-guessing the shutter 'iginition' on a moving bus (this was NOT an issue with my beloved Exilim). The Battery Life was not long (charged daily) vs. Exilim EX-S600 (charge held 2-3days)with same use.
I used my NEW Exilim EX-Z80 to download my photos as the Kodak Supplied Disk did not work....
Pro: The 'joy stick' makes deleting photos easy!

This camera is really amazing!!! It takes great quality pictures (HD) and is super easy to use. It comes with really great software and you can even crop and edit your pictures on the camera. I am extremely happy with it and strongly recommend this camera for everyday use.


5 out of 5 stars Simple, easy to use, nice pictures   May 24, 2008

My son has is quite happy with his Kodak M753 and the picture quality of it. Because of his recommendations I bought the M883 due to wanting a small camera that would fit into a shirt pocket. I didn't want a bulky camera that would be a chore to carry. The Easyshare software as the name implies is very to install and use, it installed with no problems whatsoever. After installing it, I checked for software updates and the update installed with no problems. After the battery charged the first time, I went to the Kodak support site to see if there was a firmware update. The firmware update was easy to install too. The M883 takes very nice pictures and is a good value. It is not a $1000 DSLR camera so don't compare picture quality to an expensive DSLR camera.
