Kodak C875 Review:

With the Kodak C875 you get it all, from smart scene mode to manual controls and always with a whole lot of ease. PASM Mode gets the shot the way you want it. Get the look you’re after by experimenting with various exposure controls. Take control of the amount of light coming into the camera by changing the aperture, length of time the shutter stays open, or take total exposure control by manually selecting both aperture and shutter speed. The Kodak C875’s PASM modes put you as in charge as you want to be. The all-glass Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon Lens delivers remarkable precision and sharpness. First burst mode - Captures 2 fps with the last 5 images saved Last burst mode - Captures up to 2 fps with the last 4 images saved Internal memory plus - 32 MB internal memory and SD/MMC card expansion slot Still format - JPEG/EXIF v2.21 Scene modes - Portrait, night portrait, landscape, night landscape, close-up, sport, snow, beach, text/document, backlight, manner/museum, fireworks, party, children, flower, self portrait, sunset, panorama left-right, panorama right-left, candlelight, panning shot Tripod mount - 1/4 inch standard Format - Quicktime MOV (MPEG-4) with audio recording.

Kodak C875 was one of the most highly rated cameras by a well-known consumer watchdog organization. After doing some research, we found that it could be had for a great price here on Amazon.com. Kodak C875 didn’t disappoint.

Packed with loads of features, and Kodak C875’s amazing 5x Optical zoom, we’ve been able to look good in our digital pictures for the first time (with our previous camera, eyes were always closed because of the flash, or the photo was blurry because we DIDN’T use the Flash). The Kodak C875’s digital movie feature was a nice added bonus–the camera picks up sound very well, and some of the movies we’ve made have been just lovely to watch.

Some recommendations if you’re thinking of buying Kodak C875:
1. Try to purchase it with a 1 or 2 GB SD card. With so many megapixels, the camera is a memory monster.
2. It would also help to buy a set of rechargeable batteries. We’re still scoping that out, but in the meatime, we seem to burn through AA batteries at a furious rate.
3. If you plan on using it to shoot a lot of video, buy a separate power supply cord and a tripod, if you don’t have one. The auto focus is very sensitive, and when you shoot movies, especailly if you zoom in, it will be constantly (and audibly) adjusting itself.

If you follow the above, you’ll find that you have perhaps one of the best cameras available today. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
