Kodak EasyShare M863
Kodak EasyShare M863 Reviews: I was looking for a new Kodak camera; after much research I thought this was what I was looking for. I love that the LCD is larger and that it has 8.2MP. Though I purchased this in June; I haven’t had time to learn how to use the features, I’ve only taken aim and shot pictures. I am somewhat disappointed that there seems to be a delay when taking the picture and that my initial object has moved - thus creating a blurred picture.
Kodak EasyShare M863 Reviews: I bought this Kodak for my wife but I ended up using it about half the time, We took in on a recent Street Rod Tour and I am a complete DUMMY when it comes to photography . This thing is easy to use with automatic adjustment easy to read menus and turn the little dial on top for settings. The pictures came out real good. If I had a speck of criticism it would be the difficulty seeing the in the view window when the sun is shinning , But, that happens with all digital cameras.

Kodak EasyShare M863 Reviews: Camera is small enough to easily fit into most any pocket. A big plus when on vacation riding roller coasters. This little camera took a lickin and kept on tickin. Battery life was excellent. Took pictures all day and recharged at night to be ready for the next day. It took beautiful pictures and the videos were also surprisingly good.
I have two small negatives. First, it would be nice to have an eye piece to look through especially in bright sun because the screen washes out. Second, in anti-shake mode the pictures seem a bit grainy to me. Not that much of an issue unless you do a lot of zooming when you shoot. A very nice little camera for the money. The saying “any picture is better than no picture” is so true and this little camera makes it easy to get those pictures that might otherwise be missed.
Kodak EasyShare M863 Reviews: I bought this camera about a month ago and the first that I got was defective so I sent it back. The screen was messed up on that one. Got the second one used it for about 2 weeks and now it won’t turn on. Called Kodak to troubleshoot told me the battery was dead, like that wasn’t the first thing I thought was wrong and tried. It wasn’t the battery needless to say. So I am returning this one as well. I will not be getting another Kodak anytime soon. I am very disappointed with the quality of this product. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you want a big hassle.
Kodak EasyShare M863 Reviews: Just bought this camera and took on a trip out of the country. It’s nice and small and light, so fits in a pocket easily. Unfortunately, however, it was very tough taking pictures in the outdoors with the camera, as I really couldn’t see what was being shown in the LCD screen due to the bright outdoor lighting, and lack of a viewfinder. Total bummer, as a few of my pictures had the key points of interest cropped on the side since I couldn’t frame the shot. Picture quality, etc., otherwise was fine.
