I am not impressed (magoosmom, MS, 2008-12-06)

This camera has been a headache since I got it last year. The major flaw that I have found is that the flash is entirely too bright. Most of my pictures with the flash come out looking like things are glowing. I have tried playing with the flash but it doesn't work.

Another issue I have with it is that it takes too long to get the picture. Again, I've experimented with settings but it doesn't help. The pause is long enough to screw up any posed shots (someone thinks the picture was taken and moves) and forget action shots.

If anyone moves, the picture gets a blur. Oh and let's not forget that sometimes parts of the picture seem blurry even without anyone having moved.

I can't wait to find a better deal on a camera and get rid of this one. I had an older easyshare before this one and LOVED it. This one, not so much.

Kodak EasyShare C653 6.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom....
I bought this camera earlier this year..I love kodak product I went back to kodak after purchasing a samsung camera that I wasn't pleased with at all...what I love most about kodak is the simplicity anyone can operate these cameras and they won't have to worry about a bad shot..my only complaint with this camera is the delay once you press the button to take a picture other than that I have no complaints.

great purchase!! (Linda Carruth, mother of teenagers, 2008-03-29)

My 16 yr old son needed a camera for his Spring Break trip. 11 days in Costa Rico for Environmental Science class. I had already written a big check for the trip and he wasn't using MY camera. Found the refurbished camera section on Amazon.com. Great find!! He did have the camera at his return with awesome pictures!! All for less than $70!! (if he had lost it, not such a great $$ loss)
