Customer Reviews

excellent camera kodak easyshare M1033
I bought this camera for my 70-year-old old-style mom. She loves it. It is very easy to understand, light to carry and to operate, and the pictures have a superior quality. Very good product.

I love this camera!!!
I bought this camera because my previous digital camera was hugs, bulky, and just difficult to use, and I was getting ready to go overseas for a few weeks as part of an international adoption. I wanted something that was compact and took good pics. This pretty red camera has a huge (3") display that fills almost the whole back side of the camera. The one thing I noticed right away is that when you snap a picture, it immediately takes the pic. My old digital camera had a noticeable delay in between pushing the shutter button and when the picture was actually taken, leaving plenty of time to move and blur the picture and plenty of time to miss those precious spontaneous pics. It also takes short videos which came in very handy on my visit trip! The camera is very easy to use, and a whole 10 megapixels which is amazing for the very reasonable price of the camera. I love it!!!

Really nice, but has some flaws.
I've never owned a digital camera and I'm not a photo-taking kind of person, but I didn't have a camera at all. So I did my research (I thought) and took the plunge. This camera is really everything I was looking for (and much more), except for one thing. The "joy stick" button that you use to go through the menus, review the pictures, and probably a lot more that I don't know about, is less than half the size of my little fingernail, and I don't have big hands. I had to use my fingernail to move it and, most of the time, it didn't move in the direction I wanted it to (didn't get to the function I wanted) because my fingernail was just a little too much toward another direction. I hope that makes sense. I REALLY wouldn't recommend this camera for anyone who has large, or even medium-size, fingers.

In addition, while I was setting up my preferences, I noticed that the battery needed to be charged again. I had fully charged it when I got it. I don't know how long I was playing with it before I noticed this, and I don't know if this is usual, but I thought I'd mention it.

One of the preferences I set up was for the camera to turn itself off after not being used for 3 minutes. After I was finished playing with it, I pressed the button to manually turn it off, and it wouldn't turn off. I didn't think about taking the battery out (novice, remember?), so I just left it alone. It turned itself off after about 4 hours! From then on, it turned on and off just as it was supposed to.

Anyway, except for those things, the camera was great! The 3" display is terrific. There's virtually no delay between pressing the button and the picture being taken. The pictures are good, but I'm really no judge. Upon reading the instruction manual, I found that the camera had many, many more features than I ever anticipated needing, but it's nice to know that they're there.

I guess it's back to doing more research.
