Kodak EasyShare C875 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom reviews by customers
 Great value
This was my second Kodak digital camera, a replacement for an old plastic 2MP one I bought in 2002. I was looking for a longer zoom and manual controls, as well as of course more resolution, and this one really fit the bill well. I just got back from a vacation to northeastern France just two weeks after buying the camera, and I'm even more pleased with it now. Because it fit easily into my pocket, I carried it with me everywhere. Because of the manual controls, I got the night photos I wanted, something that never would have happened with my older camera or with a regular automatic camera. The auto settings worked well for most situations, and the 5x optical zoom got me the photos I wanted without cropping when I got home. The photo quality is absolutely excellent.
The one and only downside is that the flash seems a bit weak. If I were taking a lot of photos of groups of people indoors (say, at parties or weddings) that would be a real annoyance, and I'd think twice about using this camera for that kind of thing. I usually do not use the flash, and in fact I set the Custom mode to fully automatic, but flash off, and used that for most of my photos (since as far as I can tell, the Auto mode cannot be set to default to "flash off" - but this is exactly the same thing).
I'm still surprised that I bought Kodak cameras - I thought those days were long over back in the 60s - but I've been very pleased with both of the ones I've owned.
Use sensitive
I think many people are not aware that cameras are use sensitive. Ask yourself: What do I want to use this camera for? Purchase a quality camera at the best price based on that decision.
Parents are complaining about using this to take photographs of plays and such in low light; I would use a SLR camera for such events-- or at least a camera with a better lens.
If you want to take convenient yet quality photos of your children--a purse camera--this camera is perfect.
My sister bought this camera for Christmas and I used it. My husband always buys very nice (and expensive) cameras; however, I have been reluctant to use his often as I need a purse camera. I don't like the idea of chunking $400 or more into my purse and getting it all beat up. I think this camera can deliver the same quality as his cameras for a lower price. So I plan to buy one.
Decide what you want to use the camera for. There is no "perfect" camera for every event. Some events are spontaneous and need convenience. Some need preparation--and planning--larger cameras/lenses are acceptable then.
Happy picture taking!
 Let the Buyer Beware - This camera is defective!
When we received this camera, we liked it very much. Its 5x optical zoom and high resolution seemed like good features. But after two days, it started shutting off after three or four pictures were taken, or after a few seconds of movie were made. We also noticed that a camera at Circuit City had the exact same problem. Changing the batteries did not help at all. Buy a camera from a reliable manufacturer like Canon or Nikon.
