Kodak EasyShare V803 Digital Camera
By kalar onCall me antiquated, but I do not yet own my own digital camera, so when I took a trip to Chicago with family and wanted to capture the fun, I borrowed my parents' Kodak EasyShare V803 camera.
I hate reading directions and manuals, and only half listened as my father explained how to use the camera.I had used it on several occasions to take a few pictures of my kids, so I felt that would be plenty of experience.
A trip to the art museum and various parks in Chicago provided plenty of picture taking opportunities.Unfortunately, my first disappointment in the camera was the fact that, without a memory card (which neither my parents or I had purchased) the camera only holds 50 pictures.That wasn't many for a three day weekend with my younger sibilings.
When I started using the camer, I was pleasantly surprised at its ease of use.Without directions or much experience, I was able to take good pictures and even figure out how to review and delete those I didn't want.
Once at my parents computer, where the EasyShare software was loaded, I managed to download the pictures to their computer without instructional help.
The pictures, all 50 of them, turned out very well, with great color and resolution.My other disappointment was that I never managed to find the zoom on the camera, and it made some pictures appear awkward, with the subject so far away.
This camera makes a great first digital camera, with its easy to use menu and toggle knob, and its user friendly software.Editing pictures is also a breeze.
