5.0 out of 5 stars Great Starter Camera, October 15, 2006

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C533 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

I purchased two cameras for my mom and me. The work great. I like the auto setting and the other scene setting work great. I havn't taken a bad shot either. I like the rapid fire button on top of the camera because I take lots of pictures of my dogs and they don't sit still for a minute.

The other day I was watching QVC and there was a guy talking about digi cams. He explained what the closeup/macro feature does. Its great for taking real closeup pictures of butterflies, lady bugs, or flowers with out disstoring the picture. Now that I know what it does I am going to try it out.

The only compliant I have is the batteries don't last long. A friend suggested purchasing digital electronics batteries. They do last far better than standard batteries. Its a good idea to purchase a card for your camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy for a beginner, December 30, 2006

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C533 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

My seven year old niece regularly used my camera, and was careful, though it made me a little nervous. I purchased this one for her for Christmas. The basic function buttons on this camera are clearly marked (far better than the Disney cameras I bought for her younger brothers) and she quickly mastered them, before moving on to experiment with the additional functions. The menus were easy for her, though we had to explain what some of the words were as they were above her reading level. In spite of her care, it got dropped on the tile floor with sufficient force that the battery compartment opened and the batteries fell out. We returned the batteries, and all was well. Although the pictures may not be perfect quality for enlarging, the 4x6 snapshots are certainly family photograph album and share with friends quality. Before giving it to her, I put in a 1 GB SD card and installed rechargeable batteries (and charged up an extra set). We had to change the two AA batteries once over the course of Christmas day. Based on the use on Christmas, a charger and four batteries (which allows for one change during the course of a day) should be sufficient for all but the unusually prolific picture taker. We did put the non-rechargable batteries in her camera case (purchased separately) in case of emergencies. The ability to use AA batteries in a great advantage, as it does allow you to purchase more batteries at the nearest store if necessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic camera, pretty much idiot proof, October 13, 2006

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C533 5 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Electronics)

Purchased this to replace a much more expensive Fuji that broke after only a year. For less than 1/2 the price of a Fuji F10 it takes just as good pictures in my opinion. The controls and menus are very intuitive and easy-to-use. There are even helpful hints on the screen explaining what each mode does, for the true photo novices.

My only complaints are that the construction seems a bit flimsy, but our other Kodak is still going strong after 6 years and multiple drops onto hard concrete, so I hope its durability runs in the family.
