Customer Reviews for Kodak EasyShare M863 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Red)

Very disappointed with this camera
Rating: 1/ 5
I'm not sure if I received a bad camera or not but about 1 month into using this camera, the flash didn't seem to be working properly. All of my photos were either very dark or overexposed even though I had it on Auto Flash mode and the flash appeared to be going off. I sent it in for repair once (it was under warranty but I had to pay the shipping charges). It was returned to me stating it was fixed but I still had the same problem. This was so frustrating as this was my only camera and I was missing key moments in my kids' lives. I sent it in again and this time they seemed to fix the flash problem but I spent far too much time talking to customer service about this. Even with the flash fixed, I still feel that pictures were blurry and not crisp. Also, it is impossible to take a picture outdoors in bright sunlight- you cannot see anything in the LCD screen (there is no viewfinder) so you have to guess if you are taking a good picture. I ended up getting a Canon Powershot A590IS and I am so much happier. I would not recommend this Kodak camera.

Not The Greatest.

I got this camera to take to China with me so I could remember everything I did and saw there. It worked fine the first 4 weeks, then on the 5th week the lens part wouldnt come out right or go back in at all. I was frustrated, especially since I was on a trip and couldnt have it fixed right away. I sent it back in when I got home and had it fixed. After that it worked fine, then started up with the lens thing AGAIN so I sent it back again asking if they could replace it ( I thought it was just a dud) and they did. This camera worked fine until a week ago when the screen started shaking crazily when I turned it on and now its completely blank and wont let me see the pictures I take. Although when this camera worked, it took great pics and was really clear, its just not one that I would recommend.

Arrived on time. Very easy to use. Holds a charge well and takes good point and shoot pictures with ease. Highly recommended.

Great Entry-Level Camera
Rating: 4/ 5
Prior to purchasing this unit, I did a fairly exhaustive internet search of user-reviews of entry-level digital cameras. Since this is my first digital camera, the most important factors for me were ease-of-use and overall user-friendliness. On both those counts, I can say the unit performs remarkably well. My wife, who is very much a non-techie, has had no trouble using the camera for taking pictures of her eBay merchandise. Clarity and resolution are very good. And the camera interfaces fairly seamlessly with the included Kodak software and Kodak Gallery. Battery life also seems remarkably good. It would have been nice, though, if Kodak had included even a simple cloth carrying case. The only reason I didn't give the camera five stars was because of the difficulty viewing subject matter outdoors with the LCD viewfinder, especially in bright sunlight. The glare makes it almost impossible to see your subject. In fairness, though, this seems to be a problem with LCD viewfinders in general, not just Kodak's. But overall, it's a great little camera.

Great little camera! Ordering 2nd one today!

Love this camera. I have one that I bought about 6 mos. ago and I am getting ready to buy a 2nd one. My husband uses the 1st one all the time and he likes it because its compact. I like it cause I can carry it around in my purse and use it whenever I want. It takes awesome pictures....I haven't had but a few pictures that didn't turn out...but that was me taking a crappy picture. This will be my 4th Kodak camera. I don't know what people keep talking about the LCD screen being hard to see...In certain lighting conditions ALL camera lcd's are hard to see. I have Canon Rebel XSI and it's the same problem. If the light is really bright and/or really dim they are all hard to see at times. This doesn't bug me. Its just a known fact that this is problem. It really disturbs me that people give it a bad rap for just that problem. The bottom line...It takes really good pictures and its easy to use. Thats all that really matters to me...
