Kodak EasyShare M853

 

Point-and-shoot simplicity is the hallmark of most of the Kodak digital cameras we've reviewed, and the inexpensive ($160 at time of review) Kodak EasyShare M853 is no exception. This small, light, 8.2-megapixel camera offers few exposure controls, but...

Lightweight ; In-camera panorama stitching

Disorganized menus ; Noticeable image noise

This small, lightweight camera doesn't cost much, but it takes mediocre pictures and offers few controls.

Kodak EasyShare M853

 

To be honest, the models in the M-series are a little redundant -- especially with the M853 and M873, where you're paying $50 more for a slower lens and 33% less battery life

Tons of scene modes, including in-camera panorama stitching ; EasyShare system makes it easy to "tag" photos for e-mailing and printing ; Handy PerfectTouch, delete undo features ; In-camera help system ; Above average battery life; battery can be...

Soft images with lots of noise reduction artifacting, detail loss, and vignetting ; Redeye a problem ; Low resolution LCD nearly impossible to see in low light ; Very poor low light focusing performance ; No optical viewfinder ; No manual controls ;...

If you're going to spend $150 - $200 on a digital camera, you should probably spend it on something other than the Kodak EasyShare M853. You'll be better off paying a little more for one of the Canon, Panasonic, or Sony cameras. I've listed some models...

Kodak EasyShare M853

 

Kodak's new mid-range M-series cameras claim to redefine consumer expectations, but fall short.

Your best way out is to select the auto mode and be damned, or simply select the right scene modes – you can choose from self-portrait, children, backlight, candlelight, sunset, portrait, panorama, sport, landscape, night portrait, night landscape,...

Kodak EasyShare M853 8Mp compact camera

 

Point-and-shoot simplicity is the hallmark of most of the Kodak digital cameras we've reviewed, and the Kodak EasyShare M853 is no exception. This small, light, 8.2Mp camera offers few exposure controls, but it has a wealth of built-in help information...

The Kodak EasyShare M853 is, in short, adequate for family snapshots, where photo-quality expectations are modest.

Kodak EasyShare M853

 

The Kodak EasyShare M853 is cheap and takes presentable pictures in decent lighting conditions. There isn't much else to say about this massively underwhelming compact.

Reasonable daytime performance

Lacklustre burst mode ; Appreciable shutter lag ; Lack of features ; No onscreen battery indicator

Lacklustre speed, terrible low-light performance and a lack of features far outweigh the simplicity and user-friendliness of the M853, making it a frustration to use.

Kodak Easyshare M853

 

An all-round very average camera

The Kodak is a well-made camera for the money, but changing the settings can be awkward and the picture quality isn't that great.
