Kodak Easyshare M853 8.2MP Digital Camera, 3 X optical zoom review.

I been using the Kodak Easyshare M853 8.2MP Digital Camer with a 3x Optical zoom for two years now. It had been a great inexpensive camera for taking pictures.

I like how easy to use the camera is. All I have to do is "point and shoot" to take a picture. It is also easy to change shooting modes like action, still, macro, and more by turning the dial on the top of the camera. The 8.2 Mega pixels CCD image censor is great for taking good pictures.

It is also very easy to change the resolution of the photo, ISO, and other settings like timer.

The 3X zoom comes in handy for taking photos where the object is farther a way. There is also image stabilization for the camera.

The battery life for the digital camera's batteries last a long time. I can take hundreds of pictures before it needs to be charged, and the batteries hold their charge well, so if I haven't used the camera in months it still have power in the battery to take the occasional photo.

The look of the camera looks nice and sleek and does not look very cheap and plastic like a lot of cameras which cost under 80 US dollars.

This is a great camera for carrying around in your car, suitcase or purse since it is inexpensive and portable, but the quality of the photo and video the camera takes is a lot better then most cell phone cameras.

The Kodak M853 can also be a good starter camera for kids, or people who are new to digital photography, and don't want to spend hundred to thousands of dollars on an expensive complicated SLR digital Camera, lenses, and flashes.


I love how the camera also has 16MB of built-in memory and accept SD cards and SD HC (High capacity) memory cards which are cheap. I got a 8GB SDHC SD memory card for 20 dollars at a local electronics store.

The Kodak Easyshare M853 also has a 640x480 video recording option which is good enough quality for uploading non-HD standard quality video to YouTube. While playing back video on the camera, you can also hear the sound you recorded when recording video.

I haven't got many problems with this cameras, it has not failed me after using it for 2 years.

Video I taken with the Camera and uploaded to YouTube! The video quality is decent for low light conditions, however the video quality improves in high light conditions.



The Kodak Easyshare M853 is a great deal at only 73.99 USD on Amazon.
