Kodak EasyShare M853 (Red Rose)

Summary: good point and shoot camera, especially for a teen who doesn't really want to go professional and just wans to take pictures. comes with a good video mode, although the framerate could be higher in high quality mode. Macro mode isn't particularly useful because it seems that there is a lot of light needed to focus close up. Movies are taken in a quicktime format, which is somewhat inconvenient for the PC user, and the software doesn't help much, the popular ".avi" format would be preferred. Good camera, some improvements are needed, but it has many great features.

Summary: I had read ratings of this camera and shortly after I recieved this for my birthday... I hate it... my old 4 megapixel is better !
