Personal User Review: Kodak V1073 Easyshare Compact Digital Camera (December 11, 2008)

I have been and continue to be a confirmed film camera photographer as film (and its great variety of choices) gives me the versatility and image quality that I appreciate in the photographic works that I do. Digital photography for me (until recently) has solely been my use of dedicated film scanners to translate film into digital files to make the 10x15 custom digital prints that I do every week. (Although I used to do color darkroom work that activity has with time become impractical for me to continue to do.) Although digital printing is quite different than chemical color printing, digital printing with care and a similar attention to detail (as is required in chemical printing) is capable of quite excellent results.
A few years ago my wife bought a compact digital camera for herself and she soon used it more often than any film camera she ever had. I liked the pictures she was taking and I began to notice the strengths of a compact digital camera (that I am sure most compact digital owners are aware of ): the camera's unobtrusiveness and pocket-ability; the great depth of field of its 8mm lens; the new image capture possibilities of having a live preview monitor; the ability to change color, contrast, white balance, and sharpness settings; the ability to take hundreds of images without reloading a new memory card; and, of course, the capability of instantly reviewing captured images (to determine if certain images need to be re-shot). My wife encouraged me to try out her compact camera and after an initial probing out on my part of the camera settings to find the best way for me to use this camera effectively, I found that her little camera was indeed quite a camera for certain of my own desired uses. I, therefore, decided I wanted a compact digital camera of my own. For the next several months I read everything I could find about compact digital cameras. I was not at all interested in the digital single lens reflex cameras (as, if I knew in fact that I was going out to take pictures requiring heavy equipment, I was more than happy to use my film cameras and equipment). What I wanted was a versatile camera that would be on my person at all times for those occasions (sometimes numerous) when photographic opportunities unexpectedly present themselves.
I had not previously seen nor handled the Kodak V1073 camera but I was immediately attracted to its published specifications:
1. The Schneider-Kreuznach Varigon 37-111mm (35mm equivalent) all glass lens. I
wanted a modest zoom lens as I did not want a longer zoom range lens in exchange for a physically smaller camera sensor. Also, I did not want a zoom lens that zoomed too wide as I seldom use 35mm to 28mm lenses even though I own them. (There is very little distortion in the 37 to 55mm range of lenses.)
Schneider is truly one of the great lens companies of the world making lenses for prestigious camera makers too numerous for me to even attempt to mention. I have used and own Schneider film camera and darkroom enlarging lenses and they are among my very favorite lenses. Their optics are truly impressive. (The V1073 Kodak camera Schneider lens combination reminds me historically of the more than 70 year collaboration between Kodak and Schneider when Kodak turned the photographic world upside down in 1936 by introducing the more moderately priced German Retina 35mm camera (with variable controls and with Schneider optics) capable of using Kodak's newly invented 35mm film cassette (making 35mm film in a still camera practical for the first time) and the revolutionary new Kodachrome film which together created both the photographic color revolution and the fully viable 35mm camera revolution for the world.)
2. A Kodak made or designed 1/1.63" size camera sensor with 10 effective megapixels. (Some writers give the effective megapixels as 11.34 because of the larger sensor size). This is a very large sensor size for a compact digital camera of this type and I was attracted as much to this specification of the camera as by the Schneider optics. Also, it was important to me that this is a Kodak made or designed camera sensor. Many people know that Kodak is the pioneer company that in 1885 to 1889 invented cellulose based film and cellulose based roll films (modern films) making photography more broadly available to the public than was the case with metal, glass, and paper plate loaded cameras in the 19th century. Many people also know that later, Kodak created the "snapshot" revolution by introducing the Pocket Kodak Camera making photography available to a huge public. I already mentioned above the still later Kodak Kodachrome color revolution and 35mm still camera revolution that was based on Kodak's 35mm film cassette, Kodachrome film, and the excellent Retina camera with superb Schneider optics (not yet mentioning the huge impact

My wife bought one. She loves it. I bought mine. I love it. Greatest feature? Car charger came with it. I bought a spare battery, and always have a fully charged battery for use. I photograph real estate and take between 400 & 600 photos per day. Flash is needed. Kills battery. NOT a problem.

This camera was great while it lasted. It didn't make it 3 years though which is kind of a bummer. Got a lens error which typically is because it gets bumped or dropped. The color was cool too.

Great Price for A charger with 2 batteries and a car charger, was shipped fast and works wonderful. Would recommend for anyone looking to purchase camera accessories.

I was looking for a charger for my Kodak Easyshare M863, and thought this was it for sure. Unfortunately I received the product and none of the chargers worked. I will say the seller was quick to respond to my complaint, and refunded the purchase price.

Bought for a Kodak Easyshare M853....DID NOT, repeat, DID NOT WORK!!! DID NOT DOWNLOAD....WHO knows if it would charge??????? The product was suppose to work for this model of camera, clearly stated on the ad. Very disappointed and have wasted sooo much time waiting for this cord and now have to go through all the hoops to return it!!!!!

1-19-2012 after verifying refund I will state in my words what I feel happened: ***I had contacted the Company through Amazon's process to return goods, no response from the Cord Company until I had filled out a second review that was sent to my e-mail from Amazon, AFTER the review that Amazon sent to me, the Company selling the cord contacted me and asked if they refunded the price would I change my review. The money was refunded to my card, I did not have to return the item. Please note that I was not contacted by the Cord Company until after the e-mail from Amazon that wanted a review, not good customer service I personally feel and I wasted a lot of time and effort plus had to go to town and buy something that would work!

This is one fantastic point and shoot. For anyone considering buying a pocket-sized camera, I can't reccomend anything much better if you're happy with a 3x zoom and some difficulty in seeing the LCD in bright sunlight. It's very easy to use, and apparently very durable.

The best feature of the CD1013 is the red-yellow-green hand blur warning that shows on each picture. This really helps when you're outdoors in the sun and can't tell or don't have the chance to see how good your shot was. Get a red or yellow hand? Just take another picture -- maybe try to be steadier, change your zoom or focus or consider changing settings -- until you get a green hand. But depending on what you're focusing on, a red-handed picture may end up just fine anyway.

So far, I'm thinking this camera is pretty darn durable. I've been using it outside at work for the last month and a half -- often taking 100 shots a day, sometimes in light rain. I've dropped it several times in a camera case. So far, no major problems! After a few weeks, I liked this camera so much, I found a great deal on another used CD1013 -- but it arrived with so many scratches and a battery/memory card door that doesn't fully close that it looked like it had been in a blender. After getting a partial refund, I gave it to my five-year-old son. The fact it has survived its past and stood up to my son's abuse and still takes great pictures is amazing.

More pros of the CD1013:

-- Takes good videos with great sound; although no speaker so you have to play the video on your PC to hear the sound.
-- Fantastic resolution at the 10.1 megapixels. I usually shoot at 5 MP and still have fantastic pictures.
-- Pretty quick lag time to turning it on and taking the first shot.
-- Been using rechargeable alkaline AA batteries (1800 mAh) and usually get 200 shots or more. Even when you get a low-battery shut-off, opening and closing the battery door and doing so over until the batteries are totally dead can get you another 10-20 shots.
-- Easy and comfortable to use. Zooms in pretty steadily and quickly.
-- Menus and settings very easy to navigate. Handy messages explaining the use of settings pop up on LCD.

Some cons:

-- Sometimes outdoor shots in lower light in auto-flash come out dark for some reason. But turning the flash off usually gives a great picture.
-- Does not remember the flash setting you had previously selected when you turn it back on. But the flash button is right there next to the power button.
-- I have had some occasional moments of "Uh-oh, something's not right." Was sure I had a jammed lens the other day. But turning the camera on and off and maybe popping the battery door has fixed every problem yet.
-- Not the slimmest point-and-shoot you can find, but still fits in even a jeans pocket.
-- Hard to focus easily when using in the close-up macro mode.
-- Every time you change batteries you have to reset the date and time. But it prompts you to do so right away and it's a pretty minor annoyance.

Would have liked a bigger mAH rating but this one does the job. Best price for an original Kodak battery and they do last well enough

Good product, delivered on time. Works perfectly with my camera. A little longer then I expected it to be, but works very well.

This made downloading my photos from my camera very easy and fast to use! durable quality and great product! Thanks!

This cable does not fit to the M1033, it is too small at least for the version i have, i bought it and it did not work.

Camera was becoming increasingly unreliable due to battery not holding a charge. Toyed with replacing camera (fairly old model) - but it does the job well (10X optical zoom in a very small camera) so thought I would try replacing the battery. Price was good and immediately saw the difference - the charge held and camera usable again. A good buy.

If you aren't careful the battery will fall out. It doesn't seem to click into place. However it does charge the battery and was an amazing price. I am super pleased with the purchase.

I read various reviews on this item before purchasing it. I had actually been shopping it for over a month before I caught the bargain I'd been waiting for on AMAZON. I have always endorsed and recommended Kodak camera products. I feel they have the best record of quality over time and have never failed to deliver what I have been looking for. I've never been a big supporter of Sony cameras or HP cameras, just because I feel that they are companies doing more that what they can to go outside their scope of industry and are just looking to get "a piece of the pie" on other "hot" terriories. I have seen the capabilities of some of their products and have always found a Kodak that not only matches the spec, but in many cases supercedes it. I was a photographer in High School, so I am not very unfamiliar with photography and I hope my review will help you in choosing your next camera. For the record, I have been waiting a long time to upgrade, my last camera was Kodak CX7530 5.0 MP camera that served me faithfully and continues to do so when I don't use my new m1033.

The m1033 is extremely compact that carries a huge screen compared to many like models with similar capabilities. I love being able to see a picture on the screen and know what I may be missing before I press the shutter. It also has the Kodak smart capture feature, which allows for the camera to be able to dictate to the user what type of setting to snap the picture in rather than have the user choose from its mulitiple variations. I have found the smart feature to be accurate for the most part, about 8 times out of 10, which isn't too bad; however it doesn't help to have this feature on when you are trying to snap a picture in "the moment." The screen may look like the picture is coming off blurry or grainy, don't worry, this is natural and once you have pressed the shutter, you will see your picture the way you want it to print out. The other feature that jumps at you right away is the stabilization feature. While this particular model does not carry the IS (Image Stabilization) technology, it does have a built-in indicator which tells you how steady the camera was when the picture was taken. There is a green hand with motion bars for steady, a yellow hand with motion bars for in-between and a red hand with motion bars to let the user know the camera was not steady at all when the picture was taken. I like the feature, however it was not always accurate and on some occassions (very few) I was perfectly still and yet received a red hand. At which point I felt that perhaps by resetting it (turning it off and then on again) the system would restore the lens. Oddly enough, I was right. This may seem aggravating to most, but unless you are a photo journalist who needs his camera to be ready to fire at any given moment, this shouldn't be too much trouble the one time you may have to do this as the camera loads extremely fast. Other features include the ability to e-mail a photo from the camera once you dock it or connect it to your computer. The m1033 also has the Kodak Perfect Touch feature, which basically touches up your pictures immediately after being taken in order to minimize the amount of editing on a PC. The video shoots extremely well and I was able to view videos at a 720p capacity on a 19" monitor just fine. If you are desperate to have your PHOTO camera shoot in higher resolution so you won't have to buy a camcorder, then this camera is not for you. The last feature I was very impressed by was the stitch feature. This allows you to take a panoramic photo by taking three individual photos and then stitching them together at their seam points. I thought this was a nice feature for the times when one picture just doesn't say 1,000 words but instead 333. You'll find this feature particularly handy at football and baseball games as well as other sporting events. The only thing I will warn you about is that it is intended for still-frames so don't expect to capture action in this mode, you will only be able to get what remained still throughout shoot.

The review asks for best out of five stars, but if I had to give it a TRUE rating (best out of 10), this would be an 8.5 out 10. Excellent point-and-shoot camera with some great features. It is super-slim and is about the size of a Motorola Q or Samsung Blackjack. I recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade but doesn't want to spend too much money. If you have to spend more than $150 on this particular model I recommend you go for the m1093 IS, which is better than the m1033 on some aspects. No matter which model you go with, you will always find that Kodak does not disappoint.

The description of the product said that the cord would fit into my camera. But it did not. Completely wrong size. I know I only paid pretty much for shipping - but still - it was money wasted. I was NOT pleased at all.

My plan was to replace my Kodak Z812IS 8.2 MP Digital
Camera with a duplicate. I did so with much success.
Mr. Robert VandeBrake sent a letter of very helpful
information with the camera. This was amazing! I was
very pleased I chose to deal with him. This is the first used product I have purchased. Thank you Mr. VandeBrake!

I was very happy to fine this produce. This was a great price and I got it fast.I would recomend this to anyone.

The cable will not charge my Kodak camera. I know it is not a problem with my camera because my friend's cable to the same camera charges it just fine.

This charger is just what we needed for our camera. The length is perfect for the dresser to the outlet in the bedroom. Thanks.

I am happy with the item and its working well so far, I have no complaint and will strongly recommend it to anyone.

Can't really comment, as there was a big flash when I put the battery in and it never worked. Got a full refund from Amazon. As build quality didn't look great I bought an alternative product.

Had to buy a new cord because my puppy chewed through the one that came with the camera. The new cord works, but only to charge the camera...it will NOT transfer data. I think the first time I connected it I was able to transfer a few pictures after a dozen tries, but the second time nothing worked. The only reason I'm giving this two stars is because it seems to be working to charge the camera.

somehow lost my usb cable for my kodak camera. found one on here, ordered, came as expected, worked as expected. would buy from seller again.

I bought this cable because I lost the original that came with my Kodak M763 easyshare camera. I was hoping this cable would work like the original, i.e. charging and allowing data transfer from camera to computer.
The good news; the cable arrived promptly from the vendor, and it is definitely inexpensive. The bad; my computer does not recognize the camera when I plug it into the USB port with this cable (it did with my now-lost Kodak cable) and the camera won't charge at all through the cable... so I'm not even sure if the cable works to perform transfer of data. I doubt it since the computer won't recognize that the camera is plugged into it. I'm going to spend the extra money for a Kodak cable that I know will work. I also probably will no longer buy a Kodak camera because they use these ridiculous tiny non-standard ports to connect via USB instead of a standard-sized mini USB port like many other manufacturers.

I really love this charger. It is great for on the go and I never have to worry about my camera losing power while using it for a long period of time.

Works great just what I ordered. Fast shipping, and the price could not be better. It works better than the cable that came with my camera.

Works great, Just like the one that came with the camera originally. Received in good time. Will order again from this company. Great service!!!

My sons camera had been struggling for quite a while, not charging properly then shutting down without warning and trapping his lens in the out position. I bought this battery while on a very tight budget with not much hope for it to sort the problem, i was mistaken. After a good charge my son has been able to use his camera without constantly worrying that it would shut down on him. The price was great and the quality of the battery so far has been excellent. All in all if it makes my son happy then i am happy.

I bought this camera cause of the high MP's and of the HD video. I spent another $80 buying the docking station to hook it up to my tv . after a year of it being kept in a nice padded case out of the elements , it turns on then turns right back off. I'm being told since its out of warranty I have to pay to have it repaired. I have purchased extra batteries and chargers for backup , now Im out the $300 I paid for this when it was new , $80 for the docking station and $40 in batteries and chargers. I went with Kodak cause of the name. Im no longer having any faith in the Kodak name

Bought this to have a charger (after losing the original cord for my M763 Kodak and the additional battery was a nice bonus if I'm at Disneyland or some other place where a spare battery can come in handy during a day of shooting a lot of pictures. So far, I have to say this is a great value for the money, much less than the $35 or so for a Kodak replacement... for an old camera, that's just not worth it. If I were going to spend that much I'd just get a new camera and start over from scratch. This works well and is certainly reasonably priced ... which is what you need for an older camera. So far, I'm very happy with it!

So I have used SLR Cameras before and am not a proffessional but know how to take good pics.
This camera I bought on ebay for like 40 or 50 bucks used. Please do not NOT SPEND 200 for it or anything near that.
It is totally not worth it.

So the locking up issue: It is a common and real problem. Screen locks up, wont turn off or on. Solution:
Open up the battery compartment on the bottom, it slides to the right and opens. Then Press the little orange tab and pull battery out. Put back in. Turn on. This is the only way to fix it, so hopefully u arent in the middle of some video.

Pros--------------
Tough camera. I am a young clumsy mom with a very hyper and crazy toddler who has thrown this phone. I even sat on it and went down a slide, which cracked the screen and it still works. I let it sit in a bag that a stupid "nonspill" drink had happened to leak all over it where now it is saturated with orange juice and will try to see if i can make it survive but I doubt it.

Excellent battery. The reviews that say it sucks: well did you let it charge completely and discharge completely initially? hmm. No actual batteries to charge!!! means it will save ya money!

Decent pictures: 10MP is pretty awesome, the zoom does okay

Settings: I like the many settings (tons) I use Light behind subject (works excellent) and the panoramic is great and the Children/Sports setting does okay at taking subjects at high speed

Cons--------------
Weird coloration at times

Delay in shutter response

Poor Low light Pics

Poor Motion Pics or Children running around pics, I suppose ISO is not high enough

Hope this is helpful!! Thanks

I bought this after the charger that came with my original camera finally gave up the ghost.

It was dispatched very quickly and does exactly what I bought it for - can't ask for more than that really.

Batteries received, looked ok and went into camera OK. However, battery then got stuck - the fit was too snug and I had to prise it out with a screwdriver; all a bit worrying the day before I was due to go on holiday. The company (then trading as Happy Sales) have refunded my money. If you want to take the risk, suggest you (a) order way ahead of any pending holiday to give yourself time to test them out first, and (b) check the fit in the battery charger first before risking in the camera itself. They appear to be great bargain, but may turn out to be false economy.......

This by far has been the best camera i ever owned! i get a new camera every year, and nothing has compared to this camera!

The first charger/battery did not work. The green light is always on when the battery is not fully charged, meaning it stops charging. I tried with the Kodak original battery. The company sent the replacement(different model) for free, which also does not charge. At least, the seller is responsive. I should have suspected since this unit is so cheap. Base on the reviews, I guess this unit works for some people.

This is THE BEST digital camera I have ever used/owned. In the time we have owned the camera, the pictures, video, and ease of use have been incredible. It is really easy to use, has many features which make it VERY simple to use - which is what a point and shoot camera should be. I've used an SLR, but needed a simple camera to just take great shots w/o effort. It only has three buttons - one of which is an info button - providing answers to questions about whatever is on the current screen. I didn't buy it for the touch screen, but it is great for flipping through photos for the one you want.

If your comparing with a Canon you should check the Kodak V1073 out first. I tried using one other Kodak model, and it seemed study, yet compared about the same as the other digital cameras around. The V1073 seems to be an (successful) experiment in breaking away from the typical Kodak camera, so I would limit my recommendation to only this camera.

CANON: The main reason I switched from Canon was the photo quality. I don't know if it's the technology or the internal software, but indoor pictures were inconsistent, and poor quality. The same picture taken seconds later at the same object, place, etc would look different. It would use the flash the first time, and not the second time?? I read books, blogs, everything. Changed the ISO until the quality broke down, nothing. Overall, pictures mostly turn out very dark or too bright with a flash. I did discover that this seems to be a recurring issue with canon point and shoot cameras as I found on amazon comments. Tired of owners manuals, ISO settings, etc, I began searching for a new camera, and accidentally ran into this camera in a store. I finally gave a U.S. camera company a chance, and it was worth it.

Background: I've owned about 4/5 digital cameras, and have experimented with many more. For the most part, I have bought the Canon series because of the look, weight, fairly ease of use, and very sturdy construction. However, as with most digital cameras (and technology as a whole) they have way to many features and little clear explanation of proper use.

Comment on previous comments about this camera:
-"the Kodak camera lense periodically "clicks" as it tries to adjust for lighting changes" I have not had this issue during the video mode. The camera will allow you to lock the focus if is an issue.
-"The battery and memory card Door [poor quality]" I will admit, this is the one thing I dislike about the camera. However, my last $350 canon battery door was no better. I've had no problems, and really don't expect I will.
-"The battery only lasted for about 30 minutes" My wife took over 100 10mp photos and uploaded it to our MacBook Pro with another day or two of power left over. Holds a good charge.
"battery bay latch also very easily comes unhooked" Never happened once in the time I've owned it
-"horrible video HD playback on PC" HD playback is INCREDIBLE. However, you do need software (just like you need the right TV and DVD Player) to effectively play HD. If you have a Mac, you will love this camera and the HD video as the camera video is formated for quicktime. It also works flawlessly with iPhoto and iMovie. PC owners - you have an inferior machine which will continue to become more and more inferior as technology moves forward. That said, I've played the video on my old PC laptop (with a free pc version of quicktime) with equal quality (pc owner for 20 years - recently switched to Apple). However, I doubt you will have any problem with this camera and a PC. I bought this camera instead of an $800 video camera to take extended videos of our first 3 month old son - and it works great. Video and photos in one easy to use package. Not sure why people still buy a camera for photos and a video camera for video. So many people I talk to still don't realize you can take video on most of todays cameras.

Pros: Work right out of the box/great pictures - clear, well lit - Kodak's PerfectTouch does a surprisingly good job of instantly fixing the photo after taken/great functionality/HD video/Clear settings/Touchscreen/info button explains how to setup for 4x6 photos, or whatever you want/very good light adjustment/Apple compatible/delete button offered on the screen right after you take the photo (if it's just a bad shot you don't want)/switches from view photos to take pictures simply by pressing the snapshot button halfway down - so simple!/solid feeling gunmetal construction/many other well thought out features

Cons:Battery door not the best construction/Battery must be charged while in the camera - no separate charger/camera has locked up twice - just remove battery for a sec and replace it - no photos lost - no big deal/only 3x's zoom - i have found it works fine for overall use.

Hope this helps...

The price was right. The delivery time promised was right. Except when I tried it, the cable did not work. Garbage. If you want it back, come get it.

To date, I have not been able to connect w/this new cable, but I'm not sure if it is thecable's fault or in my system. ATT has installed a new "U-verse" modem and I've had difficulties w/a variety of programs?????(I'll keep trying!)

***BEWARE THIS CAMERA***

I was looking for a decent camera to stick in my backpack this summer while I hike along the Appalachian Trail. I chose the Kodak EasyShare M1063 10.3 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom because it is small enough to pack easily and it had all the features I wanted.

The camera arrived VERY fast. I was pretty excited. I couldn't stop looking at it while it charged. It is a beautiful , sleekly-designed unit with a very solid feel to it.

I had read all of the reviews on Amazon about this camera, and while I noticed a few were bad, the vast majority were good, and I felt confident that I had bought a good camera.

Finally it finished charging and I couldn't wait to take some pictures. So I hiked up nearby Cedar Mountain and took a 10.3 megapixel picture of the town of Newington. The 8gb memory card I ordered hadn't arrived yet and the internal memory is only large enough to store 1 picture taken at 10.3 megapixels so I headed for home. I was very pleased with the camera's menu and functions. It is very easy to use. The picture I took looked great on the nice sized digitial screen on the back of the camera.

I couldn't wait to get home. At 10.3 Megapixels I should be able to make out my friends houses. I was anxious to see exactly how much detail would show.

A feeling of excitement made my fingers fumble a little while I was plugging in the USB cord.

I moved the picture to my hard drive and opened it up ready to say WOW.........

I couldn't believe what I saw....

The picture I just took was large but the quality of it was a freakin' joke. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

I couldn't believe it. No name brand company would sell something this bad. The other negative reviews I read crept into my brain and I started to worry......

I decided maybe I had done something wrong, so I went thru the instruction booklet very thoroughly. The instructions are very poorly written and offer very little about the cameras actual usage; however the on-screen help menu built into the camera is fairly comprehensive. After making sure I had the right settings I went out to the front yard to take some pictures.

I tried every setting from 10.3 megapixels to 1.3 megapixels and I tried all of the different light and color mode combinations and soon I came to a realization that really bummed me out.....

This camera is incapable of taking good pictures.

EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE CRAP AND IT IS SO BLURRY AND GRAINY AND BAD THAT NO DETAIL AT ALL SHOWS UP.

This is not my fault, my hand is steady and the cameras blur-warning confirmed this by flashing a little green hand. (which means my hand was very steady)

I was looking at one of the 10.3 MP Pics I had taken of my frontyard, the grass looks literally like a child scribbled with a green magic marker. there is no detail whatsoever.

This camera is especially frustrating because the features, the design and the digital screen are all TOP NOTCH.......

THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT TAKES PICTURES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE TAKEN FROM A CRAPPY CELLPHONE.

This is my second digital camera, and my second Kodak. It will be the VERY last Kodak anything I even consider for purchase. This camera is so bad it is offensive.

I know there are a lot of good reviews and tho I cannot understand how anyone can be happy with this piece of garbage I want to warn you that this camera takes AWFUL pictures.

I have never returned anything that I have purchased thru Amazon before. I do not even know what the return policy is.......

But this thing is completely , totally and utterly WORTHLESS, so I am hoping I can send it back......

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK LIKE I WAS. THIS CAMERA WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I got this product excited to upload pictures to my computer and it DID NOT work!! It's a piece of crap! Don't waste your money!!

I bought this cable for my kindle fire. I didn't even look at my charger before I ordered this. Well guess what. Its the same cord that goes to my Kodak camera and my Coby MP3! So now I have 3 cords!

Said it'd fit my camera - but it's such an incredibly tight fit that I'm fearful of breaking the port for the cable on my camera. And you have to press so hard to get it in all the way otherwise there's no connection recognized by the computer, and then you have to pull extremely hard to get it out and that's where I'm truly afraid I'll harm my camera. It's basically such a tight fit that I leave it in the camera at all times - which obviously is a huge inconvenience.

Don't buy this product, it says that charge the battery of the kodak camera m763, but it doesn't. the battery fit in the charger, but doesn't charge, becasuse the battery don't make contact with the clip inside the charger.

Immediate Dispatch 1st Class Mail, Great Buy !!!
Genuine Kodak at a simply brilliant price. With P&P of £4.59 the total was £9.44 .. Still better value than buying direct from Kodak.

One moan !! I needed 2 batteries, so P&P cost £9.18 ... I wish companies would give discount on multiple orders, especially since postage actually cost £2.35 plus the recorded fee of £1.00++ I know incl. the cost of Packing etc £4.59 is ok, but on multiple orders it is annoying that it doubles.

The Battery itself, great buy, genuine item, at a brilliant price. Good Service and immediate dispatch. Well worth buying.

I hate this camera with a passion. I am going into my 4th repair for the same thing - the lens won't retract and the camera shuts off. Of course now the camera is no longer under warranty. I requested a quote for repair because I have a feeling this piece of junk isn't worth repairing. Never, never will I buy Kodak if this represents the quality of their products. My original review was just about a year ago and I dislike this camera more so now.

Below is my original review. I've actually downgraded this camera to one star because Amazon won't let me go any lower. I have now lost more pictures than I can remember - hopefully I downloaded them before this piece of junk died for the 4th time. I will leave my original post in below but I cannot stress how awful this turd of a camera is - sad, sad, sad.

This camera is very easy to use and takes good pictures and video when it actually works. The smart features helps even a novice like me take nice clear pictures with little to no red eye pictures. It is small and looks nice too.

Then the bad -- I had the camera for about 3 months when it started. I had the exact same issue that some others wrote about - I wished I would have read more reviews before getting this camera but my husband wanted a Kodak since it is USA made. After about 3 months of use - not a lot of use, mind you - the camera lens would not retract back into the camera and it wouldn't hold a charge. I got a new battery thinking that was it - nope. I ended up sending it back to Kodak. The 1st time it went back, I reported the issue online and was able to return it without having to call customer service. Since it only worked for about 1 week after I got it back, I had to call the 800 customer service number. Not fun times. Kodak - made in the USA - appears to have outsourced their customer service to another country. I had a lot of trouble trying to explain that it still was having the same issues even though I had just gotten it back, sigh. Finally I said, please just let me return it for servicing. Lots of quiet on the other end and me saying, hello, hello, are you still there ? Finally the man on the phone agrees to let me send it back for servicing for the 2nd time - that took more than 20 minutes phone time - and I sent it back again. The group that serviced it was very responsive and sent it back within a week - but having this happen again for the 3rd time - same problem - is why I say no to this camera. It is currently working but I haven't used it much thinking it's going to die any minute. Kodak will not replace my faulty camera with a new camera I was told (if this continues before the warranty runs out) -- only a refurbished model.

This camera is aweful! The first one I had did not have all of the firmware loaded, so I got a replacement. The first problem was involving the software. It was not recognizing all of the pictures when I would upload them to my pc. Then the flash and lighting began to not show up properly in photos. And finally, when I try to zoom it powers off every time. Do not buy this camera.

Product that arrived is not Kodak, it is Vivitar. Does not work with my Kodak M893IS Klic-7001 battery. Does not work.

My camera battery has 3 ports on it and the wall charger I purchased, which is supposed to be capatible only has 2 prongs. The charger lit up red then green while plugged into the wall with my battery inserted, so when it turned green I thought it had charged my battery. I didn't. I left it in for 24hrs one day and for approximately 48hrs the next time I tried to charge my battery. No success yet, and I had to use a disposable camera to capture my memories of a recent occasion.
