Kodak Easyshare M1033 10 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Bronze)

• 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.
• After shopping cameras for a while I decided to veer away from the feature heavy \"premier\" brands I\'ve purchased in the past and go for one that does exactly what I need it to do: Point and shoot fast, with minimal tinkering, for great shots in a small form factor. This Kodak does it. The auto scene selection in particular is impressive. You can choose the scenes manually, but taking shots in auto select mode always turns out really good pictures. The camera is small enough for me to carry in my front pockets and remain barely noticible. Power on and ready to snap is less than two seconds, the screen is spacious, and the firmware is logical and easy to navigate. If you are heavy into the world of digital photography you probably shouldn\'t even be looking at this camera but if you are looking for something quick, easy and quality this might be the camera that ends your search.
• This review is for my second Kodak M1033 digital camera. I received the first as a Christmas gift and I believe the purchase price was near $130 at the local big box store. After a year or so of heavy use but lots of care, the camera could be turned on, but immediately turned itself off, and without the telephoto working. The warranty had expired. After switching batteries with no luck and searching the \'net for an answer, it became clear that this is a common problem with this camera, as several reviewers have reported. I also had the same bad experience with Kodak\'s customer service reps as other reviewers. Of all the companies I\'ve ever dealt with via phone, they are the worst. Enough said. So, why did I buy another M1033? The big positive reason is that this camera is the easiest to use of the other major brands I tried. It\'s just more intuitive for me. Other reasons are, I bought a great Panasonic Lumix at over $250, dropped it in the water and it was gone. I needed another camera soon, so found a used M1033 on this site for under $60 with a return guarantee if it wasn\'t acceptable. I was more used to the Kodak than the Lumix and the price was right, so here I am with another one. I would never have paid full price, but a bargain is a bargain, so we\'ll see if I wasted my money again. Bottom line is this: If you can get one used and at a very low price, it\'s worth it. It\'s easy to use and produces good, but not great quality photos. I do not believe it\'s worth full retail, given the reasons I stated and based on other reviews.
• Really pleased with this purchase so far. I bought it as a christmas present for my dad so I wanted a simple and easy to use camera. I haven\'t used it much, but I did take it out of the box to charge the battery and test the camera. I was able to figure out most of the features within 5 minutes without reading the manual so I think it will be perfect for someone who wants a user friendly camera. The camera is very compact and sleek with a nice sized LCD screen. I only snapped a few shots in dim lighting and they actually came out pretty good.The only thing I didn\'t like was the lack of a battery charger. You have to leave the battery in the camera to charge it. Not a big deal but just a little inconvenient.Overall I think it\'s a good buy for the price.
• This camera has some positive sides and drawbackspros (positive sides): Small, excellent qualities photos compare to my latest small camera Canon ELF400 what was much worse. Perfect big size video. Great software package that comes with camera. Easy to use - only few simple modes;cons: Embedded in camera software sometime hangs on. I am not sure if it is camera defect but writing to 2 GB flash card is getting slower and slower as more this flash card is filled in. The last negative element is absence of HDR filter. I know this is an extra but it is so nice to have. I know some Sony cameras have it. I heard even small ones. Kodak should think of additing this nice filter to the package.
