Kodak EasyShare M853

06 Nov, 2007, 3:19 pm IST | Laiq Qureshi | Point and Shoot Point and Shoot




As I mentioned earlier, low light conditions render the camera useless. The battery life is decent though. With one charge I got about 90 shots with minimal flash. The camera costs Rs 11,999 but is frankly a bad bargain even at this rate. I'm therefore hesitant to recommend this camera to anyone other than a big Kodak fan. You could consider the Fujifilm A800 instead. It costs about the same and does a better job.
