I really love this camera. I had a Kodak before, but my use finally took a tole on it-so I had to get a new camera. I have had nothing but good experiances with Kodak, this camera is no exception.

+ It is easy to learn how to use.
+ The screen is great size
+ Small enough to fit in your pocket.
+ Takes wonderful pictures. The blurry alert is really helpful-there are 3 color modes-green, yellow, and red-so you know what you can expect when you take the picture.
+ The color is wonderful.
+ You can choose your sounds that you want heard-shutter, focus, startup, etc.
+ The video mode is really great-you can make a picture from a movie right on the camera.
+ Also the panoramic stitching is incredible-does it right on the camera so you can see if it turned out.


- If you are new to Kodak-the manual is not in-depth-maybe harder to learn.
- No viewfinder. I haven't used it in bright sun, so I don't know how the screen will show.
- The microphone is on the bottom right (looking at it from the front) and that is where I tend to put my fingers when I want it to be steady-Then the sound isn't recorded-they should have put that on the other side of the lens. You just have to remember that when you do a video.

Again, this camera is fantastic, and for the price you really can't beat it! Kodak did a really great job on this one!

I purchased this camera to replace a Kodak V603 that I used for a while thinking that the "V803" indicated a camera with more functions, a "new and improved" version of the V603 that I had been using. The only incremental feature that the V803 offers is a higher 8 Mega Pixel resolution versus the maximum 6 Mega Pixel resolution of the V603. Actually the V803 excludes many functions such as Auto Rotate that are present in the V603. But the V803 does take very satisfactory pictures. If you put the camera in the "fully automatic" mode and simply click away you will get pretty decent pictures. Point and Click is what describes most of my picture taking so I am satisfied with the camera's performance. I would recommend this camera if you anticipate doing mostly Point and Click type of shooting with an expectation of decent (but not fantastic) results. By the way, I would also recommend that you totally skip installing any of the software that comes with the camera as the software is essentially Junk Ware that installs all sorts of unneccesary software and background processes whose main function ends up being to simply slow down your computer. Instead get an inexpensive SD Card reader and use that to read your memory card like a Disk Drive and simply copy and paste your pictures from the Memory Card to your hard disk.

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare V803 8 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Mystic Purple) (Electronics)

Like most people, I used to believe that the more money you had to spend for an electronic item the better it was, I'm starting to believe this theory is false and this camera proves it. This camera is only $199.99, and it's wonderful. It's up to 8MP, and it has like a gazillion scene selections(I just keep it in AUTO). I also like the fact that it has a re-chargeable battery, and yes it comes with the charger. I haven't used the video option yet, so I can't comment on that yet. If you're looking for a camera takes beautiful pictures, comes in a beautiful color (yes I have the purple one, but you have a choice of eight different ones), and it's inexpensive, then BUY THIS CAMERA! You won't be disappointed.

If you're having a hard time finding this camera in the store, I suggest you buy it from the Kodak Online Store. I've actually had this camera since the beginning of March. The Kodak Store has all the colors available.
