 Worst camera we've ever owned December 28, 2008

I've had several Kodak Easy Share cameras. This is the worst camera we've ever owned. Got it for my daughter for Christmas and she didn't have it 24 hours before the lens got stuck - just like others are saying here. The lens goes out and freezes. When we try to turn it on, the screen flashes, on, off, on, off. Put brand new batteries in and it still won't work.
It's going back 1st thing tomorrow and we won't be buying another Kodak.

Kodak EasyShare M893IS 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
I'm being generous with a 1 star rating.
Worst camera I've ever owned. I have had 3 Kodak EasyShare cameras before and loved every one of them. I bought this because of that but have regretted that decision ever since. First the lens kept getting stuck either in or out and the camera wouldn't take any photos. I sent it back for service. Got it back with a note that said nothing was wrong with it. Same thing happened when we were on vacation, I got stuck using the throw away cameras. Sent it back again, they said they fixed it but it happened again. The third time they did replace the camera with a "reconditioned" one. It has worked for 3 months but now the lens is starting to stick again.
Along with it not working properly the pictures are just horrible. The action pictures are to dark if you are inside. IF you use the inside setting there is no action setting. Everything is blurry, low light and just plan bad quality.
Don't buy this camera if you have children and want to take quick and fast photos. Focus is extremely bad and very very slow. Image Stablization is a joke.
I think I'm giving up on kodak and going with a Nikon or Canon.

I was happy with this camera, when it was working reliably. Decent shots, easy to use, very light to carry. I started to notice that the camera would turn itself off & on when I attempted to review photos. It would freeze with the lens open. Decided to return, after no firmware upgrade was available, that might have fixed these problems on Kodak's website. Too bad, I have had better luck with previous Kodaks I've owned.
not pleased at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! September 24, 2008

I bought this camera this spring and at leaset 50% of my pictures are blurry! There is also a pink line down the middle of the LCD screen anytime I take a picture in the sun. I have spoken with a customer service rep from kodak twice now and the first one told me to buy an accessory(at my cost) to reduce the pink line. The second one just told me to get it repaired @ a kodak store because it is still under warranty! I told them that I bought it new, and was very unpleased with the quality of picture that it takes, I did not want it refurbished I wanted a new one that worked properly. She said that it was'nt their POLICY, first I would have to try and get it fixed (when I never broke it). You would think that company such as Kodak would try to keep their consumers happy, but instead I have to go out of my way to get my brand new camera fixed. I have had two cheaper models of Kodak in the past and have never had this problem!!!!

I bought this Kodak M893 IS camera through KodakAuctions.com on eBay. Mine is refurbished, but anyone would have trouble distinguishing it from new. I paid less than $70 for it at auction. It is a great little camera so far. I have owned three other Kodak digitals over the past 7 years and they all still work great. My first was a DC3400 2.1 MP dinosaur, which has never failed to take a perfect picture. I don't use it anymore because it uses four AA batteries and has a 1.5 inch LCD
and it is very heavy. My second, which I bought almost 4 years ago at
Sam's Club for over $400, is the DX6490(4MP 10Xzoom). It still takes beautiful pictures. It is solidly built, kind of bulky though, and has a great Li-Ion battery life. My third, bought online two years ago for $250($379 retail), is the V550(Silver)5MP. This has been and still is a great camera. I like the fact that it has a 2.5" LCD AND an optical viewfinder. It also still takes great pictures. It is also solidly built with a full metal body. I use this camera all the time. It is so nice to be able to just plop it in the charger dock and it is ready to go whenever I need it. It uses the KLIC-7001 Li-Ion battery, which is the same as the battery in the M893. The M893 has a slightly larger LCD screen (2.7") and lacks any viewfinder. The M893 is much lighter in weight than the V550. (It's housing is mostly plastic). I bought the M893
because of the great price I got it for and for the fact that it is 8+MP.
But, I have found that my 4 and 5 MP cameras take excellent pictures and I don't ever plan on printing any pictures over 8"x10", so I adjusted the settings on the M893 down to 5 megapixels. This way, the pictures take up a lot less memory both in camera and on my computers and still produce excellent photos. So far, my only gripe about this camera is that it has such a long delay time between shots. (It loads the picture into memory then shows you a screenshot of what you just took.) I have found that I can shorten this timespan by pressing the shutter button down partway and the camera will skip showing you your previous shot and immediately be ready for the next one. I also bought this particular model because it has OPTICAL image stabilisation (as opposed to DIGITAL).
So far, I have had no problems to speak of with this camera (or any of my Kodaks for that matter) and I am very pleased with it - especially at the price I paid ($70) which included a 1 year Kodak factory warranty. I
have read several reviews by people who have problems with Kodak or just don't like Kodak for one reason or another. I happen to prefer Kodak over the other brands, mainly because they are relatively easy to use and they have produced good results for me. I have found that digital cameras are not toys, they are delicate electronic instruments. If you treat them with care and protect them and don't abuse them, they will
last a long time and produce many happy memories. This of course doesn't mean that there isn't bad apple or a lemon every once in a while. Maybe I have just been lucky so far. Anyway, I am very satisfied with this camera and give it a 4(out of 5)rating. It is relatively inexpensive compared to the $300 and $400 that we were paying just a couple of years ago for the same features. I would give my V550 and my DX6490 5(out of 5) stars because they came with their charger docks included in the package.
