Kodak Easyshare C653 Reviews

LaptopMag has a review of the Kodak EasyShare C653 and writes, "On our tests, photos were slightly undersaturated, but colors and focus were decent. The manual setting lets you bump the ISO up to 1250 for low-light shots, but it's buried in the menus. We recommend maxing out at 800 for the best results. While the EasyShare C653 starts up in around two seconds, there's a three- to four-second delay between shots, which is on the slow side, and VGA video clips are captured at a low 10 fps."

CNET has a review of the Kodak EasyShare C653 and writes, "Between its ugly, chunky design and disappointing image quality, the Kodak EasyShare C653 is disappointing even as a budget snapshot camera. Five years ago, this 6-megapixel shooter might have barely passed muster, but today it's simply unacceptable. If you want decent pictures, you should seriously consider doling out the extra cash for a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W35 or an Olympus FE-230 instead of this Kodak. For just a little more cash, you'll get a sleek, small, 7-megapixel camera that produces far nicer photos. The C653's sub-$150 price might look appealing, but it's simply not worth it."
