Kodak EasyShare C663 Review

- Kodak's 6.1-megapixel EasyShare C663 ($300 as of 2/6/06) is the first camera to include a digital version of the company's Perfect Touch technology, the same process used in Kodak film minilabs to correct the exposure of photos. It does a pretty effective job: Like Nikon's D-lighting technology, Perfect Touch effectively brings out shadow detail in images, generally improving the appearance of photos taken in high-contrast lighting situations such as indoors with flash.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: user friendly instructions; zoom and crop feature; many different backgrounds; large view screen with a view finder; great picture quality;

    Weaknesses: I haven't found any as of this writing.

    Overall Evaluation: I would definitely recommend the Kodak Easy Share C663 for all of the following reasons. I really like that this camera allows me to zoom in on subjects and crop them at once. The multiple settings for different types of backgrounds is awesome. I also love how easy it is to use and how they walk you through what each setting is for. It takes fantastic pictures both closeup and far away. The large 2.5" viewing screen is awesome. It is great to have the view finder as an option in certain situations where it is difficult to see the subject matter on the view screen. I cannot think of a better camera in this price range.

    Weaknesses: sometime has purple ridge under high light conditionlack of IS

    Overall Evaluation: The camera is in very compact size, has all the features and functions that a family-use point-shoot camera should have. Vivid color and Germany-made lens supercede other Kodak C serious. The only thing I have some concerns is the purple fride when taking pictures under strong light condition. Overall, it's an affordable family friendly camera.
