Advantages: Good picture quality, LCD screen, versatility Disadvantages: None!
...without further ado, here’s the Kodak M863. Lovely stuff.
My particular version comes in a black matt finish with a strap to place around your wrist – being a bloke it was a far more obvious choice that the potential vivid pink option!
Now, im hardly a connoisseur when it comes to digital cameras; the only other one I’ve previously owned was a ‘Premier’ one. (yep, never heard of them either!) But the first thing that strikes me about this camera ... ...back of the camera. With the camera being 8.2 mega-pixels; which is probably far too many to make any difference than, say, 6 mega-pixels would for day-to-day photos, it’s a very detailed photo you’re going to get at the end of it. But lets go into how exactly you get the photo you want.
Well, firstly lets be pedantic – the ‘on’ button is on the top of the camera, next to the flash option which has the regular presets as on, off or depending on ...

Advantages: lots of features Disadvantages: Pictures don't always come out too well
I got this camera as a replacement for my old one as a graduation gift. It wasn't the most expensive, nor was it the cheapest, at the time i think it was about £80. It has quite a lot of features to offer, 8.2 mega pixels, face detection, different scenes choices such as self portrait, flowers, museum, fireworks etc, lengthy video capture with sound, a retouch application, various flashes, timer, automatic pictures, iso and the chance to save your ... ...and videos if you want to create some space and delete stuff without deleting images you may want to keep to print out etc. The zoom is a 3x optical although it seems to go into more detail then that. I have to say the zoom on this one far outweighs my old model (but it was three years old lol). However now onto its downsides, sometimes the pictures just come out pretty blurry or too dark etc, and you often find this is because you have it on the ...

Advantages: robust, small, lots of features Disadvantages: fussy software
In my opinion this camera is excellent for the price. It is small, compact, the battery won't run out for hours, and the screen is nice and big. There are a selection of features which are excellent, everything you would expect like black and white, sepia, and few extras such as the panoramic view. The video option is also very good quality. The circular dial makes the camera easy to navigate. It's small but robust, and the picture quality is perfect ... ...photos in the dark as the flash is very powerful.
The software that comes with it is a bit complicated, but generally fine, and you can uninstall it and still upload photos easily.
I am really happy with this camera, I use it all the time to take snap shots for ideas and projects, it's very reliable. ...

Advantages: Easy to Use , Easy to work out, Produces great shots, great price Disadvantages: Comes without idiot proof camera case
...that is exactly what the Kodak Easyshare M863 is! On days out with the kids i've actually managed to take non blurry pics with it ! For Ebay i've managed to take clear pics of small and large items. Good for showing off detailing on items. Even better the down loading onto my computer was so so simple and easy to do. Well actually apart from hitting a couple of enter buttons it did it all itself! I've even managed to take a few videos of my black ...
