Great camera at a great price
I bought this camera for my mother who said that she didn't want anything too complicated for her to use. It is her first digital camera & even though it is loaded with features, she seeemed to catch on very quickly on how to operate the basic functions & so far, is very pleased with its ease of use & quality of pictures.

nice cam!!!!
nice camera, im disappointed with photos taken in the dark, but in general is a good camera.
I bought it for a friend of mine and havent use it long time, maybe that's the reason i dont give it five stars.

Not overly impressed and I wanted to be!
I wanted something simple for my daughter and son to use that wasn't overly expensive. The salesman told me that this camera took great pictures. We have taken pictures in every mode that is offered and so far, I can say that it definitely does NOT take great pictures. If you are only interested in capturing a moment but aren't really concerned with quality, this camera should be fine. Otherwise, I wish now that I had just gone ahead and bought a more expensive one. I already had a 5 megapixel EasyShare, so I assumed the newer 8 megapixel would be a huge improvement. I am highly disappointed in the grainy quality of these pictures.

Good Entry Level Digital Camera!
This review is for Kodak EasyShare C813 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom, This camera is no frills easy to use point and shoot camera which I consider good if you pay less than $100.

Remember Digital camera such as this does not come with SD/SDHC Memory card, The Internal 16MB memory is good only for 3-4 pictures, So you must always consider the cost of SD/SDHC memory card and a good set of Sanyo 2,700 mAh AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) into the cost before you make your decision in buying it.

With careful shopping around (online and local superstores), you can get the camera and much needed accessories reviewed here for the price quoted above.

PROS:

[+} Very good pictures
[+} Captures in HD resolution for 16:9 enhanced HDTV's
[+] Decent startup time, fast control response and silent operation.
[+] Easy to use with preset scene modes and dedicated Macro mode
[+] Captures pictures upto 1250 ISO for those truly dark long exposure shoots
[+] Better LCD preview than my other Fujifilm Finepix A900 9MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom reviewed here.
[+] Takes SD/SDHC upto Patriot PSF8GSDHC6 8GB Class6 Secured Digital SDHC Card without any firmware updates!

CONS:

[-] A picture when magnified looks grainier than my other FujiFlim Fine Pix A900 with side by side comparison of the same subject in focus.
[-] A picture when compared with other cameras of this price range looks slightly overexposed but with exposure compensation we can deal with that issue.
[-] A lot of plastic all around, No optical View Finder
[-] Uses only two AA Batteries hence battery life is average, better buy High Capacity NiMH rechargeable and carry a set just in case you need them.
[-] The Movies are made in *.MOV which can be seen only with ITUNES or QuickTime application unlike industry standard *.AVI files
[-] 640x480 is at 15frames/sec 320x480 is at 30frames/sec with audio.
[-] Slightly bigger when compared to today's world of miniature Digital camera products.

Kodak EasyShare C813 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom is a product with mixed bags of goodies and some quirks, however for a casual user none of the cons mentioned above does really matter if you can find this camera for a bargain price! Go get it!

Eeeeeeeeeeek!
Got this camera and loved it it instantly. Then it would not turn on the second day. Changed the batteries and the same thing happened within twenty four hours. Got a replacement, and it was the same was again. Sent it back for a refund. Can not afford to be buying batteries every day.
