I needed a digital camera; my budget was $200. I ended up buying the Kodak EasyShare M1073 IS. The M1073 is a 10.2 megapixel camera. I purchased my 1073 from overstock.com for $105... of course as time passes the price of the 1073 will fall.
Included with the camera:
- USB cable to transfer pictures from camera to computer.
- Rechargeable Li-lon battery. (don't have to keep buying AA batteries)
- SD slot for an SD card (Increase the number of picts that the camera will store)
- Software to allow camera to communicate with your computer (via USB).
- Battery charger: Uses the same USB cable to charge as used for picture transfer.
Features:
- 640×480-pixel VGA video at 15 frames per second
- Option to combine up to three photos into one for panoramic photo
- Images can be tagged with sound or text.
- Burst mode, taking four images in two seconds
- Face detection
- 2.7-inch LCD Screen.
- 3x optical zoom
- Image stabilization and digital blur reduction.
- 10.2 megapixels, crisp photos at close range.
Rating:
- Price = 4/5 ...Because I found a $105 deal on overstock (Usually $145 - $180)
- Size = 4/5 ...Fits in pocket
- Ease of Use = 3/5 ...Software took like 10 minutes to fully install on computer.
- Picture Quality = 3/5 ...Flash can make whites glow. Gets Grainy sometimes.
- Memory = 1/5 ...32 MB internal memory/19 MB for picture storage. There is room for about 6 pictures at 10 megapixels each on the internal memory. You will need The SD Card! I use a 2 GB SD card that allows me to store 384 pictures at 10 megapixels each.
